   I've spent the last 24 hours (not really, I did sleep almost 8 hours) looking for a simple answer on this and other sites. Maybe it's not so simple after all...

   On my last site I used CuteNews to generate content for a news blog that could be updated by employees and friends of the company I created the site for. Since this site took three months to nail down content and design and layout, I don't want to make changes to the overall look.

   But, we switched servers, which gave me an excellent opportunity to upgrade from CuteNews to WordPress.

   For the CuteNews portion, all I had to do was call upon a php file like this:
   <?PHP
   $number=5;
   include("/usr/shared/web/ima127/cutenews/show_news.php");
   ?>

   It worked great until the switch deleted working files.

   How/where/what do I do to embed a similar (one call) WordPress content file here instead?

   There, was that simple?

   Thanks in advance.

   Am I missing something--couldn't you just let those users login and Write a post?

   If you really want to, you can always my plugin to transfer Cutenews into WordPress... you wouldn't lose any categories, posts, or comments.

   I know this is a long time in replying, but we did a server switch (once from an expensive service to a cheaper one that "lost" our database in the transition and a second server switch when the cheaper service upgraded their host) so no luck in converting. Thanks for the offer though. You need to advertise. :)

   The rest I've figured out by "learning" php.

   I really haven't I just fake it well.
