I have a front page - http://edu-hq.com and a blog http://edu-hq.com/blog I want to get the first few lines of the latest blog post to automatically appear and update on the front page each time a new blog post is created. How would I do this?? I'm still trying to get all set up, its giving me a headache!
You can use RSS feeds. Download and install an RSS feed reader, just search in google for "free rss reader" then you can just put the link to the rss feed e.g http://www.popolicious.co.uk/feed (Not spamming or anything just thats my blog and thats my feed) Baseiccly what this will do now is everytime i update my site youll get get a list of the updates. Obviusly dont use my site, you can sue googles, yahoo's ect.. What this will also do, this is if you have a PHP RSS reader and not a javascript one as google cant read javascript code. It will update automattcily and google will keep coming back to cache your site wich will help your pagerank and search engine listing ect.. Hope this helps thanks
Would that work for my situation? I only want the 2 latest blog posts (or headline and first sentance) from my blog page to appear on my homepage.
