Basic help: how to show blogtitles on home?

<?php
$args=array(
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of Posts';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

Hello MichaelH, thanks for your very correct answer! It works brilliantly! Do you know of a way to display the published date in front of each post as well?

And does your code show all posts, or just a specific number of latest posts?

Is the echo necessary by the way, or can I just remove the words in between the ‘ and ‘ if I do not want a text there?

That should show all posts. That echo statement is not necessary.

An example of using template tag, the_time():

<p><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>

Also see query_posts()

Thank you very much. An excellent solution! Now only one question remains. Pherhaps you know how to limit the number of posts? I assume it has something to do with ‘posts_per_page’?

Yes, use posts_per_page to limits the posts to number you desire.

Thank you very much ?? this topic is closed and solved!
