single-latest-posts-lite

No matter what parameters I set up it shows "cannot find content". The name of this plugin is "Single Latest Posts". That's all I wanted, the ability to display "latest posts" somewhere other than a widget area. But as seems customary with WP plugin authors, this has been crammed full of options and in the end is a beast to work with, and well.. it doesn't work! I want to display 2 titles to the latest articles posted to my blog. That's it.
