I only use my blog to post little updates, i'd like to 'feed' or integrate it into the home page, so that posts can be seen on the home page, in a little box.
Would this pretty much do it?

I have the site up and running, I just want to be able to throw in some code, and have it 'pull' from my blog if possible.
If you already have a .php driven site, yes.

It is PHP driven.
Would that link work for me?

Is the home page wordpress too?

It's a website - > http://vivicalhosting.com/
I plan to move the box around, and put the blog 'feed' into it. It won't be HUGE (300x200 or so), I just want room to show updates/news and what have you, from the blog.

Any ideas?

you could use an <iframe> in your webpage and point it to the 'blog'.
you'll proably need to make a custom wordpress theme just with the 'index.php' without header, footer, sidebars; only 300px or so wide.

I thought there would be an easy way to just pull the data from the latest blog.
wouldn't an iframe basically put the blog inside of a frame, the FULL blog (anything at blog.vivicalhosting.com?).

you can try adding the following code to your websites homepage
<?php
$wp_post_query = mysql_query("select wp.ID, wp.post_content, wp.post_title, wp.post_date, wp.post_author, wp.comment_count FROM wpb_posts wp LEFT JOIN wpb_term_relationships wtr ON wp.ID=wtr.object_id WHERE wp.post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY wp.post_date desc limit 2"); // change limit to show more posts
while ($wp_post = mysql_fetch_array($wp_post_query)) {
$code_array = array(
"#\[.+\]#siU",
"#\<.+\>#siU"
);
$postContent = preg_replace($code_array, '',$wp_post['post_content']);
//$postContent = preg_replace("/[^ ]*$/", '', substr($postContent, 0, 110)); // limits content of each post to 110 chars
$postContent = preg_replace("/[^ ]*$/", '',$postContent);
echo '<h4>' . $wp_post['post_title'] . '</h4>';
echo '<div class="postContent">' . $postContent . '...</div>';
}
?>
tested with WP2.8 and as far as I remember with 2.6
hope it helps
