    Hi,
    I have a home page that I just want to display a sentence or two of the last three blog entries. When someone clicks on each link it takes them to our blog page. Is that doable? I searched the Codex but nothing turned up as specific as what I am looking for.

    I used this code on my site (ilia.org.il) to show last 5 posts. Place it in page.php theme file:

    <?php
	if (is_front_page()) {
?>
	<h1 class="entry-title">Recent posts</h1>
	<div class="entry-content">
		<ul style="list-style-type:none">
<?php
	global $post;
	$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5');
	foreach($myposts as $post) :
		setup_postdata($post);
?>
	<li style="font-size:110%">&raquo;&nbsp;<?php the_time('d/m/Y'); ?>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach;
}
?>
</ul></div>
