- I just recently made the switch and damn, I dont know why i didnt make the switch sooner
- Evan, you use Mac at all?
- I do indeed; we have a Mac Pro and a Macbook Air here in the house. The vast majority of my work requires me to work in Windows however, so that's why I end up with posts like this more often...
- Hmm, very weird. Try loading it up in Safari and see if you get the same result.
- Hi Evan - I noticed the widget is wallpapering entries with the service icon. Is this new? Is it by design? I think it's hideously busy and would love a way to fix it. I noted that yours is...

As far as I know WordPress doesn't have any API for that sort of thing, though it does have an API (called MetaWeblog) that lets you use clients to create and edit posts. Assuming your WordPress installation is going to be on the same site as the homepage you want to display your "Most Recent" posts on, you can just write a PHP script to query your WordPress database, pull the latest posts, and output it on your page.
If you're not familiar with PHP, you might try Googling around; I imagine this sort of thing is pretty popular. It's a simple enough script to write though, so don't be afraid to dig into the PHP documentation and try it.
Good luck, and let me know if you have any more questions.

Short note for Dan, Wordpress is nice, for blogging but if your site is community oriented, I will throw in a quick word for Drupal. It has integrated blogs , customisable themes, tons of modules, and after the small initial learning curve ( 1 month, about ), you will find yourself 'hooked'.
Retrieving queries of last posts (from multiple blogs) , with Drupal is very easy. for an example see my **unfinished ** homepage, www.3wsimple.com/ , sorry it s not really up to date I am badly overloaded. But it should give you a good idea. Hop on to drupal.org, if
you want more info, or contact me through above site if you need a helping hand. End of shameless plug, thanks for the nice read evan !, keep up the nice work !

I did a few Google searches and came across this bit of PHP. I've been going through the PHP documentation and a nice tutorial I found. But in the mean time could you look at this code for me? Are there any Changes/enhancements I should make?

Thanks for the tip about Drupal. A few people I know have said that they use it and love it. They also say it is very screen reader friendly which is a big plus. I've taken a quick look at it, but haven't had the time to really dive in. May I ask what language your site is in? It's always... interesting to hear when my screen reader switches to a different language and starts butchering it. At least I think it is butchering it. Just curious. Thanks again.
