news blog on my home page (how to?)

  • basically i have seen tons 0of sites that have a small “news” box on the home page and you see a small part of a blog, if you want to see the restg you hit “more and away you go to the main blog area.

    maybe i am being dumb, but i cant figure out how to do this with wordpress, i just want to show 1 post…on a home page (i dont want the whole home page to be word press..we have done that)

    any ideas

    many thanks

  • My preference is just to grab the blog feed and display it on your non WP site using Magpie RSS.

    There are a few ways to do this. Adam’s suggestion would certain work, but I would probably design the home page with WordPress and just insert The Loop (the blog contents) wherever you want it, be it a small box on the side of the page, or the very bottom of your page, or anywhere else. I’m not really sure why you wouldn’t want the home page to be WordPress, since that’s what you’re chiefly using, right? You can certainly limit the home page to show only 1 post, as well as limit the amount of characters shown. Check out the_excerpt for more info on customizing your blog in this way.
