 * Well i am new to wordpress and i am stuck on this problem. I wasnt even get any
   closer to solve it. So i want to get three latest posts’ content and print them
   on screen.
 * Firstly i had tried to get the latest post’s id and decrement it one by one to
   create a dynamic latest post system. However, then i had realised that posts 
   ids are random. Is there any way to display latest three posts on a page?

 * [@tara](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tara/) i develop the theme myself
 * [@michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michael/) in the content, i created
   a page called “news” where the recent posts should appear
 * edit: what i meant to just print recent posts on the page
