Newbie asking for something simple, I hope

    I’ve spent the last 24 hours (not really, I did sleep almost 8 hours) looking for a simple answer on this and other sites. Maybe it’s not so simple after all…

    On my last site I used CuteNews to generate content for a news blog that could be updated by employees and friends of the company I created the site for. Since this site took three months to nail down content and design and layout, I don’t want to make changes to the overall look.

    But, we switched servers, which gave me an excellent opportunity to upgrade from CuteNews to WordPress.

    For the CuteNews portion, all I had to do was call upon a php file like this:
    <?PHP
    $number=5;
    include(“/usr/shared/web/ima127/cutenews/show_news.php”);
    ?>

    It worked great until the switch deleted working files.

    How/where/what do I do to embed a similar (one call) WordPress content file here instead?

    There, was that simple?

    Thanks in advance.

    Am I missing something–couldn’t you just let those users login and Write a post?

    If you really want to, you can always my plugin to transfer Cutenews into WordPress… you wouldn’t lose any categories, posts, or comments.

    I know this is a long time in replying, but we did a server switch (once from an expensive service to a cheaper one that “lost” our database in the transition and a second server switch when the cheaper service upgraded their host) so no luck in converting. Thanks for the offer though. You need to advertise. ??

    The rest I’ve figured out by “learning” php.

    I really haven’t I just fake it well.
