   I am designing a site built on Wordpress and I have the WP files installed at http://www.domainname.com/main. Everything is working fine. There are going to be some separate blogs and I have installed a test blog at http://www.domainname.com/blog1. I configured the wp-config file for that blog to point to the same database, but create tables with a different prefix. A solution I found on the WP site for installing multiple blogs.

   The secondary blog is working fine, but I want to pull the newest headline (hopefully with permalink) to the pages of the main blog. I have been completely unsuccessful so far. Can anybody please give me some ideas or point me to a resource online for doing such a thing. I figured it would be pretty simple to just pull the newest post_title from the blog1_posts table.

   Thanks.

   No, you use RSS feeds for that, you don't mess with the database.
   A very simple solution is described here:
   Function_Reference/fetch_rss

   That worked great! Do you happen to know the syntax for other variables you can pull like date and author? I didn't see any info regarding that on those pages.
