I'm trying to tweak the Zenlike skin to add a "recent updates" field on my index page... but for some reason I can't get it to appear. I'm really new at coding skins, so it's probably something I'm doing (or not doing).
I tried to just duplicate the coding for the "categories" field, but couldn't get it to work. "recent" block is active and looks fine when I switch over to CSSZen, but I'd prefer to use Zenlike.
Can anyone help me with the coding on this?
Thank you!!

Check the skin's variables.php to make sure it's not turned off there. Beyond that if you want more help we need a URL so we can look at what you've done.
You were right, it was turned off. I went into variables.php and deleted the line of code, then went back and re-added in the code for the recent updates... it's better now, but still not fixed, as the recent_title is showing up but nothing in the recent_content.

(because I'm new at this, and to avoid screwing up the skin completely, I copied all the Zenlike files into another folder and have made my changes over there. Skin name is "magical" but is just Zenlike with a few of my tweaks)
Here is the code I entered for the recent field:
<table width="75%" border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="c1">{recent_title}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="c2">{recent_content}</td>
</tr>
</table>
OK, I never did get this to work so I think I am just going to go with another skin... thanks for your help, though!!
