Is there a WordPress widget for my webpage?

Question

I'd like to show a summary of my recent posts on my homepage. (Like the headlines and perhaps a few lines of text.) My site is not running on WordPress.

Is there a code snippet for that?

Edit:

When I said "widget", I didn't mean it in the WordPress sense. I meant a code snippet.

Answer 1

For a non-WP site, Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Feed API - Google Code is easy to use.

Answer 2

There is a default widget that ships with WordPress called "Recent Posts." It displays a list of titles of your recent posts.

There are also several other similar widgets with different features, some of which might allow for a few lines of text. Try searching the Plug-in Repository for "recent posts."

Answer 3

If you want to publish a headline and excerpt of your latest posts on a non-WordPress, I'd use FeedBurner's BuzzBoost feature, it has always done the trick for me!

Answer 4

Just add the following snippet in you non-WP page:

// This is so that we can use WP functions
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

Now you can call wp_get_recent_posts to get the latests posts.

But reading your question agin, it seems that you are NOT using Wordpress, but you want a function similar to wordpress? In that case, you're in the wrong forum. You should ask it over at StackExchange.

And if you are not using WP, then you need to fill in more details. Are you using any CMS? IS you site custom PHP? Storing data in DB? And so on.
