# Recent Posts on WordPress Page

 * Hello,
 * I am creating a static page for my blog homepage.
    I have about 4 paragraphs,
   and under the 4 paragraphs I would like to display the 5 latest posts.
 * I have added the following code below the text:
 *     ```
       <h2>Recent Posts</h2>
       <?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>
       ```
   
 * Problem is when I save the page and preview it, all I see is “Recent Posts”, 
   but no recent posts under that. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some easier
   way to do this?
 * Thanks!

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       <h2>Recent Posts</h2>
       <ul>
       <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>
       </ul>
       ```
