Like this site has - Big Government

I like that the most popular/recent/whatever posts are the feature of the page. Does anyone know the best way of going about this?

THANKS A MILLION!!! :food-smiley-002:

Eh?
If you mean the headlines listed 1 - 14 at the top of the page, they are just links to articles on other sites.

I cant see anything else on the site you might be referring to.

Sure you can list most popular posts easy enough though. There is a 'popular posts' widget that comes with a wordpress default install.
 
Oh ok, I should clarify. It's the prominance I'm after. I guess I could just move the widget around and make it more pronounced.
 
If all you want is to have your recent posts display at the top of the page in large lettering, thats pretty simple.
Just add a new 'sidebar' at the top of the page in whatever page template you use, eg index.php, page.php mysupernewpage.php and make sure you define it in functions.php.

Then drag the widget into the new 'sidebar'.
To style the result just use css. I think the default widget outputs the links in a block with the class :

Code: 
block-widget_recent_entries

But it might be wrong, just view the page source.
