I’m just wondering what is the best way to make a sidebar, which say, includes recent blog posts, projects etc.

At the moment I’m creating a datasource for each and including them on the pages I want a sidebar, which could be:

  • Sidebar: Blog
  • Sidebar: Projects

Then I’ve created a sidebar.xsl utility which transforms the sidebar XML, then just include that on each page template where the sidebar is needed.

Is this the best way to do it?
