 * I recently switched from another news script to wp. I plan on using wordpress
   solely for news/updates.
 * The thing is my site is set up using global variables. The index page is a front
   controller.
 * My question is, how would I integrate wordpress with the current setup?
 * With my current news script this is the path in the index that displays the news:
 *     ```
       if($go == "" || $go == "home") {
              include('include/header.php');
              $number=7;
              include("/home/sitename/public_html/news/show_news.php");
              include('include/footer.php');
       ```
   
 * What would the path be to display the wordpress updates on the index page?
 * Any help would be immensely appreciated!

 * The easiest way would be to paste a feedreader widget on your homepage, then 
   point that to republish your wordpress feed. Feedburner has a feature called 
   Buzzboost that does this.
 * The second way is to add this line
 * `<?php require('./path-to-your-blog/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>`
 * in your homepage index.php and then paste the snippet in your WP templates that
   shows ‘Recent Posts’.

 * Thanks for your help, but neither work with the structure of the site (see the
   snippet I originally gave)
 * Any other advice would be immensely appreciated!

   it to display the wordpress posts.
