I think you would have to create your own layout then use some of the tags to call in your post from categories etc and other from your regular posts

I think you need to hard code this into your own php file before hand?

I think I have found it:

Thanks bmanderson, very handy little bit of code!

A bit of track but I checked out your site and wondered how you have the archives as a drop down selection menu? I like it.

A little embarrassing but the problem was I did not have https:// before the URL ??

Code needs to be written like this:

<a href="https://www.external-website.html" target="_blank"></a>

Hi there I am having a similar problem I have
<a href="www.external-website.html" target="_blank">Another website</a>

in the footer but when click the link it places the WP website url before the external link? eg

www.WPsite/www.external-website.html

Any suggestions to what I may need to do? i would of thought it to be easy but I must be missing something. I will keep searching the net too

Maybe will look at that book, but finding these forums invaluable!

I ended up using the following:
This formated it into a list for me
<?php get_archives('postbypost','5','custom','<li>','</li>'); ?>

I had to be super specific and with your help this works now with the following:
#nav ul li.page_item a:hover

Thanks heaps

Haven’t read either but Im looking at tracking down a good book too

Hi haochi, wow how did you know that, I was looking every where, it did the job, thank you so kindly

Maybe ask your host if they have other clients who use wordpress on their servers,no need to name them but just if they do run it successfully

another bit of code getting me closer
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title('<li>', '</li>'); ?></a>

But I still need the code to generate all the posts only on the news page though

I did what you have done and it worked, it may be something to do with your host, maybe email them and tell them the problem as there may be some settings that need to be modified.

From what you are saying it should be working
