Usually visitors arriving from search results land on older posts of a blog and cannot see the latest posts on that page. To circumvent this and to give them a taste of the latest buzz on your blog just grab the following “Recent posts widget”. It can be added as a page element and placed anywhere you want (In the sidebar, below the post etc).
Just copy the following code (in blue):

<script>
function rp(json) {
document.write('<ul>');

for (var i = 0; i < numposts; i++) {
document.write('<li>');
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
var posttitle = entry.title.$t;
var posturl;

if (i == json.feed.entry.length) break;

for (var k = 0; k < entry.link.length; k++) {
if (entry.link[k].rel == 'alternate') {
posturl = entry.link[k].href;
break;
}
}

posttitle = posttitle.link(posturl);
var readmorelink = "(more)";
readmorelink = readmorelink.link(posturl);
var postdate = entry.published.$t;
var cdyear = postdate.substring(0,4);
var cdmonth = postdate.substring(5,7);
var cdday = postdate.substring(8,10);
var monthnames = new Array();
monthnames[1] = "Jan";
monthnames[2] = "Feb";
monthnames[3] = "Mar";
monthnames[4] = "Apr";
monthnames[5] = "May";
monthnames[6] = "Jun";
monthnames[7] = "Jul";
monthnames[8] = "Aug";
monthnames[9] = "Sep";
monthnames[10] = "Oct";
monthnames[11] = "Nov";
monthnames[12] = "Dec";

if ("content" in entry) {
var postcontent = entry.content.$t;
} else if ("summary" in entry) {
var postcontent = entry.summary.$t;
} else
var postcontent = "";
var re = /<\S[^>]*>/g;
postcontent = postcontent.replace(re, "");
document.write(posttitle);

if (showpostdate == true) document.write(' - ' + monthnames[parseInt(cdmonth,10)] + ' ' + cdday);

if (showpostsummary == true) {
if (postcontent.length < numchars) {
document.write(postcontent);
} else {
postcontent = postcontent.substring(0, numchars);
var quoteEnd = postcontent.lastIndexOf(" ");
postcontent = postcontent.substring(0,quoteEnd);
document.write(postcontent + '...' + readmorelink);
}
}
document.write('</li>');
}
document.write('</ul>');

}
</script>

<script>
var numposts = 7;
var showpostdate = false;
var showpostsummary = false;
var numchars = 100;
</script>
