This is a module that should be in every Joomla installation. A lot of options to show your latest news in very beautiful ways (especially the slider option is fantastic). It is also possible to install more than one instance of this module.
Had some trouble in IE7 at first, but the help from Jésus was great and very fast! The replies on the reviews show that too. You ask, he does!
Everybody download this module as fast as possible. Such a great product can't be free for long!

I'm newbie, and for me is very easy of install and customize.
Very useful and cool module, excellent addons for your users.
You can put in any position, if you position is little, you can choose one column, if you have more space, you can choose more columns.

This module should be integrated into the Joomla! core!! This module gives you MUCH greater flexibility on how you handle "latest news" items on your pages. 4.5 stars!!
The only complaint I have is that there seems to be no way to modify the position of the date (I want it on top of the title). But heck, that's minor! I only deducted half a star!

Hi! That is possible now, since the 1.3.1 version.
Overall this is a very good addition to the Joomla! 1.5.x Logic is simple, powerfull and diverse. But I miss more possibilities for customization.
For example:
- Possibility to disable showing the title of section or category
- I'd like to add the date in to the headline when my article was published
- is it possible to add some space between the border and text? There's possibility to add marging for an image, but not for the text
