WPMU Featured Blog Widget

This widget allows blog admins to add a listing of the latest posts from a featured blog from within the WPMU site. If you choose an author and have avatars turned on, the author’s avatar will also be displayed.

Make sure to also tick the checkbox “Limit Posts to Author.” The default behavior is to pull all posts, even if an author is identified. Also, note that if you use an author’s name that is not an author, it defaults to pulling all posts.
