    Is there a way to put a WordPress widget on a website other than WordPress? I'd like to add the Recent Entries widget to my website's main page which is not WordPress. Is this possible? I do have access to the HTML code on my website, but I'm not knowledgeable in writing complicated code. Thanks in advance!

    WordPress accesses information stored in a MySQL database. All posts are stored in that database. Plug-ins hook into that database to perform specific functions like listing recent posts, or displaying images in a particular way, etc. That's what wordpress and plug-ins do in a nutshell. So you require wordpress interface (and a mySQL database) to make use of the plug-ins. (If you've used some other content management system like Drupal or joomla you might check to see if they have created something for those.)

    Mindy, I'm sorry, but what you just said makes no sense to me. My WordPress is connected to my Yahoo! Small Business account. I don't know how things work.

    Ah, I didn't realize that you had a wordpress account and had asked how to install a widget on a site other than WordPress. You had only mentioned HTML code, so I assumed (wrongly) that you didn't have a wordpress install. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Yahoo Business Account and don't know how it might tie in with your wordpress installation.
