Ever wondered how to display recent wordpress posts anywhere on your site?   The answer is simple.  Simply using the following code snippet and adjust the HTML to something of your choice that matches your website.  All you need to do is include the wordpress config file of your installation you wish to retrieve posts from and use this small snippet of code on your website.

<ul>
<?php
require_once(’wp-config.php’);
$myposts = get_posts(’numberposts=5&offset=0′);
foreach($myposts as $post)
{
?>
<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>

To change the number of recent wordpress posts that appear, change this part of the code to a number that suits you: “numberposts=5“.

Many bloggers use wordpress which can automatically notify one or more servers each time the blogger creates a new post or updates an existing one.  Many other blogging platforms will attempt to do the same.  For the people who are slightly technologically minded, “the tool sends an XML-RPC signal to one or more “ping servers,” which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material“. - wikipedia.
