I am looking for a wordpress plugin that will help me with linking to other blogs. I want to include updates of my friends post topics in the side bar of my blog beneath their link. Is there any way to do this easily?

All I want to do is pull the 5 latest post topic titles from my friends blog and display them in the side bar of wordpress but most plugins i find are a bit too much with what they do.

Any help?

Feedwordpress is to import feeds and turn them into posts. All you need is an rss parser. Probably overkill for you, but Magpie will do what you need. Just google for rss parser. There's a ton of options out there.
