I’m having trouble with this myself. I’ve posted
<?php
require(‘blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
at the top of my page (above all the other html)
I then insert the code anathema suggested, with the modifications. I then get a page of warnings. Nothing else renders. Are you all using Stylesheets? I have a plain index.php file I’m trying to integrate the most recent post into my index.
