 * I am making a site where I want to use wordpress as a CMS. I have wordpress placed
   in its own folder (/wordpress) on the server, and use “the loop” on the index
   to get posts from wordpress (I am not using a theme, its my own built index)
 * What I need help to do, is to get pages (lets say a page named “links”), just
   the content and the title, not the template. How would I do that? Do I need to
   use the loop in any way?
 * Thanks alot guys and girls

 * Find the plug-in include_page or something similar:
    [http://beetle.cbtlsl.com/wp-plugins/include_page.phps](http://beetle.cbtlsl.com/wp-plugins/include_page.phps)
 * It includes a page content in a page (useful in “home.php”. if you use this file
   as the home page). For more info about that, check the “documentation-codex”.
   
   If you want to include the content of a page in a post, you need the plug-in 
   include_page and execPHP (or something similar) to execute php commands in posts.
   Beware, using the latter script “may” open security holes for hackers. I do not
   see simpler way.

 * Is there no way I can include the content of a page in an external site (html)
   the same way I can get posts using the loop?
 * Thanks again

 * How about the documentation? [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
   has some good examples.
 * Or, there are tons of little php utils that will pull RSS feeds and format them
   for a web page (where’s David?). Grab one and have it pull your own site’s feed.

 * I made a template I called Zen that only output the basic content, no sidebar,
   no headers etc. I basically started with the default theme, and removed everything
   unneeded. Then, from real pages, I used a php function (file_get_contents) to
   fetch the data I want. It could be just one category, or whatever. As long as
   I built the url right for the get contents function, I got the data I wanted.
 * So, you need a template, but the template is really barebones. Did that make 
   sense to you?
 * Oh, I can let you see a sample.
 * My real front page: [http://mybeausejour.com](http://mybeausejour.com)
 * The wordpress install it fetches the data from [http://mybeausejour.com/wordpress](http://mybeausejour.com/wordpress)
 * If you look at the html for the wordpress page, you’ll see it’s just the posts
   with a headline.
