recent posts help?

hey i got this code

<?php if (is_single()) : ?>

• recent entries:

<?php $latest = new WP_Query(‘showposts=5’);
while ($latest->have_posts()) : $latest->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$title = get_the_title();
if (strlen($title) >= 35)
$title = substr($title, 0, 35) . ‘…’;
?>
• “><?php echo $title; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

and i put it on my temporary site https://www.kupuj-taniej.com/absorbdesigns/

and the recent posts only show up when you click on individual blogs. how do i make it show up on the homepage, and on every single page? this is in my side bar btw.
