website integration and

Hello,

I am integrating Word Press into an existing website and am having a problem displaying the thumbnail of the latest three posts.

The home page of my site is a standard PHP page and one level down from the root in a folder called “Blog” is the WordPress installation.

I am trying to elevate the latest 3 blog posts to the home page – which I can see perfectly, except I cannot get a thumbnail to appear.

At the top of the home page I have this:

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('Blog/wp-blog-header.php');

and my loop is:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read More</a>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
