If you want to have all the sorts of pages you get from wordpress(last post, blog index, search results, archive list, etc.) then you may be better making a full wp template, or finding one to modify to suit your design.

I’m working out what is the minimum code required to put the latest blog post in a php file/page.

I’ve got a little side tracked with a broken upgrade but I’m nearly there.
I don’t think i made it too clear what i wanted, was hard to explain, but the easiest way, is if you just see on my site (http://www.alex-wigmore.co.uk/) and looks at the bit on the home page that says “Site news” then the little post with the pic of 01 (I just did that post manually with Html). That would be ideal if a blog like that could be created.
Yeah that’s similar to what I’m doing then.
You need to write some php to add ‘the loop’ in but with parameters you want (e.g. last 5 posts, maybe just in one category). Then within the loop you ask for the fields you want (post content, post date) surrounded by html as you wish.
We can safely assume your host allows you to upload php files right?
I’ll answer in my topic when I’ve figured it out.
Yes, my host allows me to upload php files, though for some reason doesn’t always work through FTP so have to upload through CP.
I’ll be honest, i have no clue what im doing with PHP. but i’ll try and help with finding a way to do it.
