I am developing a web site that is not based round the blog but I would like to use the blog to show "article style" entries on the front page. I started stripping a theme down and realized that IF I wanted to allow my readers to interact, destroying a theme would prevent that. I am leaning in that direction so I need a different approach.
Question: Can I create a page that displays only the content of my blog entries, that can then be inserted into my front page? This page must be configurable as far as appearance, especially width and cannot contain any side bars menus, links, headers and footers.

After a lot of reading and then a little doing, I am using a PHP script for displaying RSS feeds using HTML. It picks up the RSS code from my WordPress Blog, processes it and uses a template to configure the output. All I need to do is add a little php code where I want to place it on any page I desire. Nice!
I am sure that this technique is not great news to many users but I thought I would at least post how I resolved my problem in case someone else could use the same help. There are quite a few scripts that will do this however I chose one that was easily configurable through a custom HTML template that I could strip down. What script did I use? RSS2HTML (http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm)
