How do I pull a post’s Headline or Excerpt into a static HTML page?

Hello all,

Please help me integrate some of my dynamic WordPress blog content into my static (hum drum) HTML site.

I do a fairly good job of providing fresh content on my blog page, but now I’m finding that the frequency of those updates have had the unintended consequence of burying my main (static) webpage in popular search results. So my goal now is to leverage the updates I do to the blog page to ‘spoon feed’ content updates to my main page. The problem is, I have no idea how to…

What I’d like to do is find some script or service whereby I can pull the headlines or excerpts from, say, the last 10 posts to my blog, and drop them in a ‘news ticker’ window in my static page. Isn’t RSS supposed to make that sort of thing (relatively) easy?

I know that RSS is working on my site. I even stumbled across an old DIY post on another site which suggested NewsGator had a feature like I describe (https://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_can_i_add_the_ask_dave_taylor_rss_feed_on_my_web_site.html), but their site is completely restructured from the ‘how to’ explanation.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me with ways to ‘slurp’ this info directly from my blog into my static page, or to find services (NewsGator or others) who can help me do it.

Regards,

T.Gilk
