Michael, the recent blog post widget simply reports what it finds in each of the blog posts. If the post data is incorrect it will display incorrect data. bp records the fact that a new blog post was created. It stores the blog id and the post id. When the recent blog post widget displays the post it goes and gets whatever exists on blog id X for post id Y. It then echoes that information. It doesn’t change it in any way.

If a plugin is creating bad data then the recent blog post widget will show bad data.
