Static Web page where? Inside WordPress – created by the page editor? Or just some regular HTML file?
Here are the basics for PHP code that you can put in another PHP file (your static HTML page) – you’ll have to adjust this to fit into your own site (directory path, etc):
<?php
include('wp-config.php'); // include the basic WP startup stuff
query_posts('showposts=10'); // get the last 10 posts
while (have_posts()) { // got any posts?
// start writing the HTML output for each post here....
the_post(); // stuff the required parameters
// write the title
echo '<h3><a href="'.the_permalink().'">the_title().'</a></h3>';
// write the content
echo the_content();
// etc etc etc
}
?>
A regular HTML file, I will try your code and let you know how it goes.
