Dynamically updating a non WP page with WP content?

  • I'm currently using wordpress to run a blog page however the rest of the site is not using wordpress.
    Currently on the home page I have 3 blank boxes that I manually update to include (and link to) the
    latest blog titles.
    My question is: Can I use something on the home page to get the last few post titles dynamically from
    the wordpress blog or will I have to rebuild the entire site in wordpress?
  • Through the world of RSS you can accomplish that.

    I don't have the direct solution for you, but that's how you'd do it.
  • I would just rebuild them. With Templates, it would be easy to convert those pages to Wordpress, since the HTML and CSS can remain the same for the most part.
  • yeh that's what I've decided to try and do now as I think that will be easier than mucking about with RSS! Thanks for the advice though :)
  • Yes, it can be done without using simple pie / rss. I do this on my site: see krowchukdressage.com

    if this is what you wish to accomplish, it sounds like it to me, then do a search on my name here. The secret was shared with me last year by another poster here on tricks.

    Cheers! Chris
