No I don't think that's necessary. 
A hack would be fine. 
If ever I'd figure out how to make the hack or solution, I'll post it. Or just visit www.planetjazz.org
 (under construction). If you see it's up and the recent posts section do not show hello world posts, just send me mail and I'll send the script. 

Another function I'd be doing after the interface revision would be the post_date. It's possible to display the date when the post was made. I'm just gonna make a calendar-style date... or something fancy.

I think in skimming your original email I'm realizing that I missed the point.

What you are suggesting is a feature that allows admin to designate a "system blog" that is automatically excluded from the recent posts and put into a "site news" area on portal?

Thanks. I changed the affected files. It worked... I think it's best that jjb would add that up with the next release.

What I was thinking of was a bit complicated. Excluding certain posts with titles like "hello world!" and posts from certain categories and blogs...

For example, you are the administrator of teachfor.us, you can make a blog for announcements and general updates. You want to display posts from that blog on the sidebar. You wouldn't want to see the same posts with "recent posts."

What I'm trying to avoid is repetition. "Do no repeat yourself." I always read that from pragmatic programmers...

I was able to do it before with wordpress. The code, of course, wouldn't work in portal.php.

Thanks for the help...
