Static Front Page Questions

Hey All,

I have reprogrammed my site so that WP is seperate from the main site. Since I am now using a static front page I still wnat to display recent posts from the blog on the page. I have accomplished this with the “Mini-Loop” option.

The problem I am having is displaying more than just the title of the posts. I cannot seem to get a date to show up as well or seperate out different text elements of the
<ul> that is being generated by the $wpdb query. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
