 * My home page and my blog have different themes so I have them using different
   wordpress installs. I want to have the titles of my most recent posts from my
   blog show up in the sidebar of my home page, but I can’t figure out how to reference
   it between installs. I think I basically need this:`<?php $myposts = get_posts('
   numberposts=5&offset=0');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :?>
    - 
    - <?php endforeach;?>but i need to to come from the rss or something of the 
      other site.

 * Instead you may want to try this: [Function_Reference/fetch_rss](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_rss)

 * awesome! Thank you! this is working perfectly with a little tweaking. How would
   I add the date of the posts as a non link after the title?

       <div id="headlines"><?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
       $rss = fetch_rss('http://www.hoistedsail.com/blog/wp-rss.php');
       $maxitems = 5;
       $items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, $maxitems); ?>
       <?php if (empty($items)) echo '<li>No items</li>';
       else foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?><a href='<?php echo $item['link']; ?>'title='<?php echo $item['title']; ?>'><?php echo $item['title']; ?></a> - <?php echo date("n/j/y"); ?><br />
       <?php endforeach; ?></div>
       ```
   
 * The above calls todays date, but I cannot figure out how to have it echo the 
   publish date of the article. I have been trying for days to figure this out…does
   anyone have any idea? Thanks.
