    A portion of my ecommerce site is a blog. I would like to take blurps from my blog and place them on my home page. How do you do that?

    I could do that, but I want it to be dynamic. Maybe every new post I make will show up as a snippet on my home page. I think I need an RSS converter like sigma is talking about. I was reading up on RSS converters and thought maybe they would do the trick mixed in with some PHP. Do any of you use a PHP script to publish random posts else where on your sites?

    I'm pretty new to RSS and PHP, but I'm having fun figuring out how it works.:)

    The carp uses php so that the text is spidered in the page, every time I write a blog entry it drops it in and drops one off the list. I'm pretty new to this too but it's working out well.

    Feedburner has a free service to put up your feed on any website, called BuzzBoost.

    Yes, I'm using the free version - you can take out the "feed by carp" thing but I didn't really care so I left it there.
