Using PHP to Embed WordPress Posts

I’ve got a little bit of a question for you guys… I’m a huge fan of wordpress and have used it numerous times in the past to build blogs for people. Great tool. and now I’m finally setting it up for my own site.

I have my personal portfolio website located here:

https://www.jamesbull.ca/test/

As you can see the site uses a javascript slider effect to scroll the different pages. I would like to turn the “Recent News” page into a page that displays my recent blog posts.

My blog is located here:

https://www.jamesbull.ca/projects/wptest/

So I’d like to figure out a PHP script that can pull the 3or5 most recent blog posts and embed them into a div on my personal portfolio site. Since both sites are hosted on the same server, I would think that this should be possible and was wondering if anybody had any idea’s??
