Get Latest Post

This plugin adds the ability to put a shortcode tag in any static page or post and have it display an excerpt from your latest blog post.

There are no settings or options.

It generates markup like this, which you can style as desired:

<div class='latest-post'>
<p class='title'><a href='http://www.mysite.ca/blog/post'>Look ma, no hands!</a></p>
<p class='excerpt'>Today I rode a bicycle &hellip;<a href="http://www.mysite.ca/blog/post">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></p>
</div>
