Displaying Wordpress Recent Posts on a Static Page?

Is this possible?
Like in case of a phpbb forum we can show the later forum threads and posts on a static webpage, can we show the same thing in case of a wordpress blog.
If its possible let me know what code we need to include on the static page or else what is the wordpress plugin if available.

 

Try this:

<ul><?php get_archives('postbypost', 25); ?></ul

25 being the # of posts you want in the list.

 

wow thanks for a reply
if the blog is here www.mysite.com/blog and i want latest 10 posts in my www.mysite.com/index.html is it possible?
