 * I am trying to add the 5 most recent posts from my blog to the homepage of my
   website (just an index.html page). I am looking at how to make a mini-loop on
   the support pages, but it deosn’t work. [
    When I follow these instructions this
   is the output I get:
 * # get_results(“SELECT `ID`,`post_title` FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE `post_status`
   = \”publish\” ORDER BY ‘ID’ DESC LIMIT “.$how_many); foreach($news as $np){ print(“
   ID); print (“\”>$np->post_title
    “); } ?>
 * Can anyone help me out?
