Our RapidWeaver Snippet, "Show Recent Posts" has been updated
After a lengthy walk through with a fellow RapidWeaver user trying to set up a site our recent RapidWeaver snippet, “Show Recent Posts”, it became painfully clear to me that I take a great deal of web stuff for granted. So I have modified the commenting in the code snippet to answer a few good questions you might have and I have also modified the README file to reflect those new instructions. The code has stayed the same, just the instructions have improved.
