The classic template users of blogger shall be missing the “Previous Posts” lists in Beta. I too was missing that feature until i found out what feedburner could do.
You can either dispaly the desired number of posts (10.. as u desire ) or
display all of u r previous posts.
Wait..There is more..If you are managing more than one blog.. then you can list the “Posts of other blog(s)” and vice versa.See this in action here.I am managing 3 blogs, Horizon, Template Enhancements ,My Tamil blog. You shall be able to see all the posts in all the blogs in the left side bar.

Interesting. I used the technique of directly using the feed as a sidebar section. However that way I’m limited to only the last 5 posts.
By the way, you need to fix the link to feed burner.

Hi Deepa,
Just wondering if you’ve got an answer to a slightly more specific problem about the ‘previous posts’ list. Pre-beta, the list built into the standard Blogger templates would display the previous 10 posts (i.e. posts 0 to -9, where 0 = current); if you selected post -4, the list would display the previous ten posts from that point, i.e. -4 to -13. Since I went to the beta (without changing my blog template), it invariably displays posts 0 to -9, which effectively makes it impossible to use this list to ‘page back’ through older posts. Does the Feedburner solution fix this?
Hi Phil
Thanks for comming by.
Let me get your question clearly..
Do you want to display all of your previous posts (10, 20, 30 what ever..?)..if so..Feedburner allws it.
Feedburner allows upto 15 (if u wanted restricted list) or ALL posts titles
You hve changed to beta–but maintained your old classic template–Then you can insert the feedburner code at whichever position would like it to be
Hope this was helpful
That’s not quite it. What I want is for the ‘previous post’ list to start with the post currently being displayed & work back from there, rather than start with the latest post. This is a November 2004 post from a blog I read (last updated earlier this week); as you can see from the URLs, the ‘previous posts’ are all from earlier in 2004. This is a March 2005 post from my blog; the ‘previous posts’ are all dated in 2006, and in fact the most recent is the current post on the blog. Would Feedburner – or the RSS/Javascript solution recommended by ‘panther’ – fix this?
Yes:-…now i can understnad your question.Let me just think it over.Could you just tell me how this is done in pre-beta..ie the old blogger.
Brainstorming will certainly help
That’s where it gets tricky. In the old Blogger this was default behaviour – if you had a template with a ‘Previous’ section, that was how it worked. Now the default is always to display the ten most recent posts. The template code hasn’t changed. I just hope there’s some tweak to the code which will tell Blogger to process it the old way.
hi Deepa,
I just moved to blogger Beta a couple of hours back and found the problem you and phil were discussing… i.e. about the previous posts section anways showing the most recent posts. i.e. show the posts written before the post we just clicked and are viewing… were you able to get some idea of how this is to be fixed or if it cannot be fixed in beta…
Hi alistair
I am still unsuccessfull in figuring out how to fix this.(ie.. dynamic upload 0f prev posts).
With so many people requesting this freature.. i only hope that blogger will comeup with a solution..
Deepa
Thanks for pointing this out as a feature on Feedburner. I had set up an account but have failed to really see what Feedburner had to offer.
