This is awesome! However, what I would love is the ability to also add an "excerpt" from the latest post, rather than just the post title/link.

For example:

Post Title (linked)
Post Excerpt (140 characters) (more link...)
Posted by (user) on (date)

Can anyone help with this? I don't know how to select the actual post content from the db OR how to only show the first 140 characters...

Thanks!
