   On my homepage I have a "recent posts" sidebar with a link to the blog. It's a .php include. I want to list the headings of recent posts on there. Can someone please tell me how I can do this? I want it to update this automatically.

   Thank you!

   All you would need to change in the following code would be the "category_name=" to be the category you want to display.

   <?php query_posts('category_name=events'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> 
   
   <ul>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   </ul>   
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   Hope this helps!

   Thanks for your help, but my homepage is outside of the blog folder (its actually the main websites .index homepage). Can you please tell me how I can use that code on a web page that is not part of the actual blog?

   Thanks!
