    I'm not really sure that you can add posts to the sidebar as info in the sidebar is usually controlled by either a widget or programmed into the template.

    I won't say you can't, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that.

    Seems it would be too much content.

    Only thing I could suggest is simply insert them as posts, but place them under a different category. That way, as your readers come to your page, they can go to your sidebar and find them there.

    Only suggestion I have at the moment.

    Someone else might come along with more info, but sorry I couldn't help more.

    Hope this helps.

      I would tend to agree with @RE Hughes that adding posts to a sidebar could be cramming too much content into a small area.

      There are multiple ways to display post titles in the sidebar. What post types were you hoping to display? Recent Posts? Popular Posts? Specific posts by category?

      Either way, there is a plugin to help you accomplish this.
      wordpress dot org/extend/plugins/popular-posts-widget/
      wordpress dot org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/
      wordpress dot org/extend/plugins/query-posts/

    You can add a "text" widget and manually add an article or anything else you want that way.

    Not sure of the plugin name but sure you can find it.
