Does anyone know how to make new posts automatically show up in the frontpage, with out having to refresh the page. I have a wordpress site with multiple authors and want their new posts to show up automatically.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your Q. When you visit your site and get onto the index page, you'll have all new posts freshly fetched from the DB. No need to do some AJAX refresh...– kaiserJun 8, 2011 at 10:16

3@kaiser My guess is that he wants new posts to show up when someone is already viewing the home page.– anuJun 8, 2011 at 10:36

I cannot find a plugin that does this (although the Live Blogging Plugin is similar to what you need).
In general you should use the Periodic Refresh ajax pattern to check the server every few seconds if the content of the current dom is the latest posts. If not, insert in the content of the latest post(s). Good Luck!
In my (limited) programming world, I found Ajax long polling to be the easiest way of doing live updates.
Here is a basic example of it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/333664/simple-long-polling-example-code
Other way would be to use HTML5 Websockets (but it needs special server setup): http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/start-using-html5-websockets-today/
