   Hi Guys,

   I have developed my website and converted my template to a WordPress theme. Now, I just want my 5 most recent posts on my homepage (which is in the root folder), but do not know how to get outside "the loop" because WordPress is installed in /blog/.

   Any idea how this can be achieved?

   Thanks,
   Amnesia

   I have read through this and am still a little confused.

   I don't want to turn any of my website (apart from the blog itself) into a WP theme (which I do not think that tutorial is telling me to do anyway).

   My website is in HTML, so to fix this... I assume I just need to change the *.htm extensions to *.php ?

   Am I right in saying that to implement the last 3 posts (without content, just titles so they can click on them) I need to do the following:
   Put this before the </head> tag:
   

   // Get the last 3 posts.
   <?php
   require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Then this where I want the content to appear?

   <?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
   <?php endwhile;?>

   I just need to put a direct link to the blog header at the top?

   Many thanks!

   change the file extension .htm to .php. Put this `<?php
   require('blog/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
   `
   at the top(before the<!DOCTYPE not </head> tag).
