Moshu! THANK YOU! Using your tutorial, and a few suggestions/advice from a couple of others here at the forum, my blog is now doing EXACTLY what I want it to do.

I write in the blog /which is in it’s own folder/ and an excerpt shows up on my main root index. THANK you for the step by step (with pictures!) instructions. It was so helpful to see exactly what code I was suppose to be grabbing.

I thank you also, but it’s still not what I’m looking for. And I haven’t seemed to make any one understand (even though loonytoondad is doing EXACTLY what I want)

my blog is [here in this folder]
my index page is *here*

I want the most recent entry of my [blog] to show up on my main portal index page *here*

could any one lead me in the right direction to solving this? (pretty please, with chocolate chip cookies on top?)
🙂

I did It! I don’t believe it, but I actually found documentation, and figured it out! Yeah Me! I LOVE WordPress and PHP! 🙂 You all ROCK!
I still have tweeks to do to it, but….
…. for other people who want to Include a Category on a Different Page….
this is what I did… first I went over to The wiki
http://wiki.wordpress.org/PostsByCategory?PHPSESSID=e63931bdf1860af6c8df198afed0f000
and copy and pasted on a new page, Pal Gamin Dot Com’s code. (Love the way he has it, all nice and neat, color coded and all, didn’t make me afraid when I looked at it 🙂
I saved the page with his code as wp-recent php
I also changed the
$cat="1";
$blog=1;
to cat=”10″;
because that’s the category I wanted to show up (look in your category section and you’ll see the number of the category id on your left
then I went over to this wiki page
http://wiki.wordpress.org/ShowOneCategory
and got that code, and pasted it in my index template, just like they said. BUT
I changed this information:
//Set index.php to only show one category on main page
if ('/' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] || '/home/witchy/public_html/design/team/index.php' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])
$cat = 10;
/* --------------- */
I changed the address to the actual page I wanted the category to show up on, and I changed the category number to 10.
Then I went to the page I wanted the include to show up on, and put Pal Gaming’s include code
<?php include('/home/witchy/public_html/design/awp/wp-recent.php');?>
(changing to My actual path) on the page I wanted this category to show up on.
Now the whole entry shows up, when I really only want an excerpt, but I’m happy. *G* I’ll just have to remember to keep that particular category entry short 🙂
Thanks Again to everyone that made these hacks!! (and who had the patience to post them)
🙂

AH! 766 worked! 🙂 I know (the changing permissions) that’s what confused me so much, and one of the reasons I like WP so much, because you Don’t have to change any permissions.
Thank YOU Podz!! You’re patience with me will be rewarded 🙂 May the bluebird of happiness always be with you 🙂

LOL well, podz, it seems to be working with every one else but me… maybe I’ll change the path from the wp-content, to the actual folder that I have the images in.
🙂 thanks for being patient with me, I see from this thread, that you’ve been answering the same question over and over again.

*G* it’s because you’re way behind the times babe.
LOL ARI!! 🙂 it’s because the server is on East Coast time sweets 🙂

and it works! 🙂 well, as far as creating another weblog. I haven’t done the switcher part, but at the moment, I don’t really need that, and will play with it later. *G* now I’m trying to figure out the photo hack. Just wanted to say Thanks Burningbird!! (shelly 🙂 I appreciate the step by step instructions 🙂
