Not sure why there are so few posts to fix this as Arthemia is a very popular, clean, magazine style, FREE WordPress theme.  You can get more details on the theme and download it from the homepage. Of course, if your blog is hosted with Dx3webs just shout and we will install the theme for you.

This is the new version of Arthemia Free. I’ve done some changes in the post list in the front page, solve some CSS problem, added the thumbnail feature for post list in front page, archive, and search page, modify the comment list style, and added the WP-PageNavi plugin support. Pages and sub-pages in the top navigation bar are now shown automatically.

The fix is simple.

Edit footer.php

ADD

<h3>Recent Posts</h3>

<ul> <?php wp_get_archives(‘title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=5′); ?> </ul>

AFTER

<div id=”recentpost” class=”clearfloat”>

Also, this blog has a great guide to setting up and configuring Arthemia and you will need some of the plugins from here.
