You should look into the query_posts template tag.
The query_posts function is intended to be used to modify the main page Loop only. It is not intended as a means to create secondary Loops on the page. If you want to create separate Loops outside of the main one, you should create separate WP_Query objects and use those instead. Use of query_posts on Loops other than the main one can result in your main Loop becoming incorrect and possibly displaying things that you were not expecting.
The query_posts function overrides and replaces the main query for the page. To save your sanity, do not use it for any other purpose.

Recent <ul class="recent-posts"> <?php $archive_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5'); while ($archive_query->have_posts()) : $archive_query->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul>

You may have to pull in your rss feed so it can pull the latest 5 entries. I'm pretty sure there's tools out there for doing that.
