So close to finishing my MT.  Just a few more little tidbits.  One of them being:

In MTOtherBlog, how might I only display the last 3 entries TOTAL?  For example, at the moment, if I put the following code...

CODE
<MTOtherBlog blog_id="3,4"> <$MTBlogName$><br />
                   <MTEntries lastn="3"> <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a><br />
                   <br />
                   </MTEntries> </MTOtherBlog>


...I end up with the last 3 entries for blog id 3 *and* 4.  What I'd like, is for it to only list the last three newest entries, regardless of what MT it came from.  Make sense?  At the same time, I'd like for it to be titled, by which MT it came from (which it currently does).

And that's that.

Thanks!
Joe

If I'm not mistaken, I believe MTOtherBlog works on a blog by blog basis, meaning that it cannot do what you are trying to accomplish. However, I think there's another plugin called GlobalEntries that can do it.

Sure enough. Except, it's called GlobalListings. I think it's perfect for what you are trying to do. Check it out and be sure to let me know if it worked for you.  :)
