    I have a Wordpress blog and I also have a website. I want to have section/box on my website that shows the latest blog entry (not link to it - the actual entry) . How would I do this in JavaScript? Thanks.

    #1 Don't do it with Javascript or you get no SEO benefit for your efforts.

    I'd recommend you download simplepie and follow their example to place a single post. Then when it gets to the loop part use this instead 
    		$output = '';
		$feeddata = $this->getFeed($url);
		
		if (is_array($feeddata) && isset($feeddata['items']) && count($feeddata['items']) > 0)
		{
			$item = $feeddata['items'][0];
			$output = "<a href='{$item->data['link']['alternate'][0]}'>{$item->data['title']}</a>\n";
		}
    PHP:
    and tweak $output to give the right info and echo it out.

    Hey that looks great, and I've just downloaded it. But which file are you referring to?

    Look through the zip file, there are a few demo scripts.

    I just noticed that RSS ignores links and formating, I need everything to be shown as it is on the blog...:( any ideas?
