Elgg BlogLatest plugin updated

Posted & filed under elgg.

I’ve released v1.0.0 of my BlogLatest plugin for Elgg. It’s a bug fix release and you can download it from the plugin page or download the source from the github page.

You can filter on username, tags and number of posts etc. Tested on Elgg 1.7.1
