   Hello all,
   I'm fairly new to wordpress (read: I've never used it before) I have designed our company website at mainly using .html and dreamweaver. It is hosted by a company called Data Emporium, who have installed our wordpress blog at abraxasarchitecture.com/news. I designed that page in dreamweaver using the php file type, so it would have the same layout and look as the rest of the page. I then used the code:

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
   
    <?php
   require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>
     <?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
     <?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;?>

   Which was supposed to grab the last 10 posts and then display them in the page I designed. it doesn't though. the page now just displays this error message:

   Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/abralune/public_html/News.php on line 4

   Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/abralune/public_html/News.php on line 4

   Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/abralune/public_html/News.php on line 4

   So I get that I need a './wp-blog-header.php' file, but what needs to be included in there? Where do I need to save it/ how does it link to my news page? Is there any way to just edit the code so it doesn't require a header and will just use the layout and header I already designed?
   Thanks!

   Try this:

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('./news/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   And obviously require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php'); would be redundant after that :)

   Hmm well that didn't work....
   Now instead of displaying an error message it just displays all of the code for that page.
   I saved the 'news.php' file in the root of the site, while all of the wordpress set up files are saved in a 'news' file. Could this be a problem? Also, I never defined a wp-header.php- I was under the impression that this was just one of the standard wordpress files the page refers back to to load the blog, is that correct?
   Also- I didn't change the second part of the code-

   <!--Get the last 10 posts. -->
     <?php query_posts('showposts=10'); ?>
     <?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;?>

   Is that part correct?
   I've got lots of questions- thanks for any advice y'all may have...

   Well ... It has to be in a .php file, not a .html file.

   You can't have php code in an html file (though you CAN have HTML code in a PHP file)

   Oh! Ok it decided to work now. Thanks for your help, I think that little change fixed it!
