simplest way to show weblog posts

[Guest]

What would be the simplest way to incoperate 5-10 of the latest weblog posts into my website? Should I strip the rss feed only to show the latest 5-10 posts or use php to pull them?

Thanks

If you want to keep the blog page intact while your website's main page is
separate and standalone, the RSS feed sounds like a good idea...

[Guest]

can you recommend any good php scripts to do this?

You could also use the s9y API to show your entries:

Code: Select all

<?php
chdir('/path/to/s9y');
include 'serendipity_config.inc.php';
$entries = serendipity_fetchEntries();
foreach($entries AS $entry) {
  echo $entry['title'] . "<br />";
  echo substr($entry['body'], 0, 255);
  echo "<hr />";
}
?>

You could look into include/functions_entries.inc.php and look at the function signature to see what you can do with that function
