I think that it would be a good idea to put a listing of the newest nodes in a box along the right.

If you are worried about the titles of the nodes being too long, perhaps we could just list all of the sections and the number of new nodes next to each section name. We could add something like this to the pre-existing Sections box:
-------

Mediations: 4
Perl Poetry: 2
Code: 1
etc . . .

The number of nodes would be links that go to the appropriate section of the newest node page.

In other words, in the above example, there would be a link such as:

Meditations: <a href=http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?Newest Node#Meditations>4</a>

That link would go to the Meditations section on the newest nodes page.

Anyway, I am really interested in the newest nodes and I think other people are too. That's why I think they deserve to somehow be included along the right side.
