How To Display Recent Posts on Page Outside Wordpress

    I have a blog that is installed within a subfolder.

    I would like to add a peice of code to my main home page which shows the most recent posts from the blog. Idealy I would like to show a summary of each, but a simple clickable title would be fine.

    If anyone could give me some hints, tips and advice on this I would greatly appreciate it

    I belive that you need to hunt up an rss parser script. You may want to use carp or magpierss.

    What blogging platform do you use? This ability is a standard feature of wordpress.

    If you want to put the recent post IN a wordpress blog, you just copy this code into the sidebar

    <?php get_archives('postbypost', 10); ?>

    I think it will still work if your static page is powered by the same wordpress admin.

    Hm final choice would be to create a feedburner's headline animator :)

    Hmm I will check into feedburner, but as I said in my first post the static page is outside word press

    You want an RSS parser. That's how I do it, and certainly a way to achieve it. :)

    It's fairly small and easy to setup for your homepage, I use it all the time to do what you are looking for. (Like carp or magpie, but simpler.)
