   thanks for that,i still have a problem then, iv rad through it all and added the php code mentioned to use wordpress features

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

   and i receive the following error when i load the page:

   Server error
   The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.pixel-void.com/homee.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

   require('/....../header.php');

   this line is definitely wrong

   notice in the example it shows
   

   require('./wp-blog-header.php');

   so it links to the wrong file, and
   

   /....../

   is also not going to work.... how many directories are you trying to navigate?

   you don't link to

   /blog/wp-content/themes/twentyten/header.php

   you just link to wp-blog-header.php

   it's a core file which resides in the WordPress root directory, looks like that is blog on your install

   ok i tried that, i installed wordpress in the directory 'blog'.

   <?php
   // Include WordPress
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   require('./blog/wp-load.php');
   query_posts('showposts=1');
   ?>

   throws up the same error

   i have one file in my main directory called header.php and all the other pages include that. just in case that may be the cause of the problem.

    ok sorted now. i had the first part of the code in the header file and the second in the page i wanted to display the post, as the header is included in that page i figured it would work, but it wouldnt.

    Glad you got it sorted. Seems including WP can be a bit flaky. I had the header code on my non WP page at the very top, and the page would not load, just a blank page. Moved it down just above the </head> tag and everything worked.
