+README - RecentContent (RecentContent Plugin)
+================================
+
+RecentContent is a plugin that provides a blog which displays the content posted inside a blog choosen by the user.
+
+The RecentContent block will be available for all layout columns of communities, people, enterprises and environments.
+
+The articles posted from the choosen blog are displayed as a list with a link for the title and optionally the abstract/lead content.
+
+If the choosen blog has a cover image, the user can configure the block to show the same image displayed on that blog.
+
+Galleries and folders are not displayed in this block.
