Make a block with Views module that displays the blog titles and teasers of the latest blog entries. Let me know if you don't yet know how to use Views module and I'll help you get started.

as the other posters have already said, the view module does this (and yes with only 3, there are many configuration options). if you want to learn to use it i recommend viewing the video linked above or the documentation pages.

I'm in the process of writing an in-depth guide on CCK and Views: Creating a CCK and Views powered Drupal site
It covers the latest versions of CCK and Views for Drupal 6, and tries to cover every common question to help you learn how to use the modules, as well as theme/style their output.

Also, here's my collection of Drupal learning resources:
