    I notice some people have this thing on the side of their blog like "popular posts", "topics" etc where it is formatted in a table with tabs at the top. You just click on the tabs to show you each part.

    Can you show us an example? I think I know what you mean, I think it might use AJAX. I did a theme before where if you click a button, it drops down some stuff. Then click it again, and it retracts. Or, are you meaning something else?

    You'll have to add a <h3>Recent post<h3>

    Just look at the sidebar.php and look at the example and just copy the example.

    Ahh! I see what you mean now. Thanks for sharing that sylv3rblade. :) Doesn't that still use AJAX though? Just was wondering, I never used that plugin before.

    It's not AJAX, it's purely javascript (but then again Ajax is mostly javascript so...) an it's not a plugin but a piece of code meaning if you want to use it, you need to manually edit your theme, uploaded the necessary .js file, add the CSS to customize and add the info you want to display for it to work.

    Ah, thanks sylv3rblade. ;) I really need to get up to speed on all these new features and add-ons. I used to be, but have been so busy with life, that I hadn't had the time to do so. Thanks again!

    Is it a plug-in or just the sidebar?

    They use wp plugin named recent posts , just search wp plugin gallery. And tabs appear if theme designer has set them in template.

    There r many themes , such as magazine style theme in which u will fnd these tabs.
