Serendipity Forums

Let's get this out of the way first; I know next to nothing about coding.

So anyway, I am in the process of building a website. It is not a blog, so I don't make the entire website with blogging software. But, I want to have a front page with newsposts and updates- similar to a blog. Having no idea what else to look for, I looked up blogging engines and ended up here.

So, then, is there any way to display posts on an already-built website? I am sure it is possible, since sites like blogger and tumblr both allow you to display the blog on an already-built page through <script> tags. But both of those require going through a third-party website, and blogger just seems really unprofessional.

So, is there a way to display minimal versions of posts on an html site with serendipity? Maybe just the last couple posts with a link for "older entries" leading to the blog page or something?

Any way that I, knowing very little about programming, would be able to implement?

See "Embedding Serendipity in Something Else". Beware, apparently, it's not a piece of cake.

Well, I have never done this myself, so I can't really judge whether it is a piece of cake

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch for the help.

Skimming over it, it looks like something I could manage.

Also check out this: http://www.s9y.org/78.html

Look for the last section on that page entitled "Showing entries in foreign webpages".

Since you were looking for <script> tags originally, perhaps you'll be interested in the easiest method: install the Show Entries via Javascript plugin. Then you can show the entries from any foreign page with a <script> tag.

Does it help that we can already include entries in webpages outside of s9y: http://www.s9y.org/78.html ??
