Adding a blogroll to a non wordpress page? Spare advise? (11 posts)

    I would like to show a WordPress blog roll on a flat HTML page that is not generated from WordPress. I spent quite a while googling and haven't found any hints for how to do this.

    To be more clear...
    - There is a WordPress blog
    - There is also a flat HTML website
    - I would like to show the blogroll for the WordPress blog
    on the homepage of the flat HTML website.

    Is there is a way to just show one WordPress element on a flat site (such as the blogroll)?

    Or should this be done using an iframe which shows the WordPress blogroll?

    If it's not possible to do this, maybe I will need to convert the flat website into a WordPress website, but would not be the ideal choice.

    Any pointer to docs that talk about what to do would be great.

    Thanks a lot for any pointers, advice, or thoughts you can spare!!!!

    With joy,
    -julian

    Thanks Esmi.

    Ideally I'd like to keep the flat website flat. The solution you pointed me at requires using PHP on the site.

    The blog in question is hosted on wordpress.com . Does wordpress.com offer something that allows other sites to show a blogroll for blogs that it hosts? In other words, can juliancash.com show a blogroll from a blog hosted on wordpress.com without needing php for juliancash.com ?

    Again, thank you!

    The article you linked to say to do this:
    <?php
    require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    For a blog that's on wordpress.com , what path should I use. I keep googling and not finding the answer.

    Thanks for any pointers you can give!

    I've been saying "blogroll" which may be the wrong term for "recent blog posts"

    On linkedin.com they sometimes show a list of a user's recent WordPress blog posts.

    The lowest level code for this on the linkedin page is an iframe:
    <iframe id="panel-03-slot-33847520-remote" class="gadgets-gadget" width="100%" scrolling="no" height="250" frameborder="no" src="about:blank" name="panel-03-slot-33847520-remote" style="height: 250px;">Browser Not support iframe</iframe>

    I tried retrofitting this into my site (snagging the JavaScript and CSS needed), but did not get it to work.

    Any suggestions or thoughts at all will make me happy.

    Thanks!

    Try pulling in your RSS feed instead.

    Incidentally, this forum is for self-hosted WordPress sites, so you could try asking your question on http://en.forums.wordpress.com/

    Volunteers on the wordpress.COM forums provide support only to those who have free blogs, which are being free hosted by wordpress.COM.

    All those with websites that have wordpress.ORG installs on them must come here for support.

    WordPress.com blogs cannot be embedded in iframes and placed on wordpress.org installs. We do not provide lessons to those who need to set up RSS feeds on their wordpress.ORG installs on their websites.

    Yes...and? The blog in question is on wordpress.com. There does not appear to be any wordpress.org install being discussed here.

    Indeed there was no wordpress.COM issue here at all either. All wordpress blogs have feeds. The feeds on the blog are working. He went on the web and found http://www.rssinclude.com and set up the "website" which I assumed was a wordpress.org install so he could draw from the feeds.
    "Resolved"
    Have a great weekend.
