The same site shows how to incorporate current posts using a rss feed to your external website. http://www.corvidworks.com/articles/easy-feed-reading-with-simplepie

Again, this would be if your main website is not on WordPress.com. I have not tried this, but would try this method if I was trying to incorporate recent posts into an external website.

If you on on a web host (and using WordPress installed there) rather than at WordPress.com, you can do exactly what you are describing. This is the article that enabled me to do that on a hosted site with a WordPress blog in a subdirectory of the main Website. I tweaked It a bit to get the categories and number of posts that I wanted. I used it in more than one page. I do not know if you can use it to pull posts from a blog on a different server however.

You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you'll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

If you don't understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It'll help people to answer your question.

Alright Im working on a website. The main domain "example.com" and the blog will be on "example.com/blog". As well as having the blog on the /blog I would like to have a small blog roll / freed of the main blog on the main domain homepage. Is there a way to do this with out having to install wordpress on the main domain?

Thanks.
