<li><!-- Activity -->
			<ul><h1><?php _e('Activity'); ?></h1>
			<!--This will show the last 10 posts, including the last one. To change the number of post shown
			edit the 'nuberposts=x' to whatever value you want, and to skip the last one (or last 2, 3, etc.) 
			increase the value of 'offset=x' (default is "0" so it will start by the last post)-->
				<?php
						$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=0');
						foreach ($posts as $post) :
					?>
					<li>
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a>
					</li>
					<?php
						endforeach;
					?>
				</ul>
		</li><!-- End of Activity -->
