 * Hello to all
 * I’m relatively new to the wp programming world and I have a task in hands that
   after various searches seems impossible.
 * I need to get data from a external table to be display as a regular post (with
   the proper formatting) without using the wp-post table.
 * I managed to use the wpdb and get the data I needed but.. I only manage to show
   it on the admin board via plugin.
 * Can anyone point me a direction to this? Is this possible without importing data
   to wp?
 * Thanks
