 * Hi there,
 * I’ve been dabbling with my front page’s PHP code. In one section of my site, 
   I’d like to display a simple list (li) of what I’m currently working on. Right
   now, that list is inserted via HTML into the PHP itself.
 * I’m very weary to open up and work in that HTML/PHP file everytime I want to 
   update my current projects. Could I possible create a regular page to list them,
   and then pull that page’s text content into the PHP file with a PHP function?
   I’ve hunted all over for a plugin or function, but I’m fairly lost at the moment.
   Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Try the Widget Context plugin.
 * You could put a text widget in say the sidebar and pour your HTML list inside
   it.
 * You go to Appearance | Widgets and add a text widget to say the Primary Sidebar.
   When you setup the text widget, Widget Context will appear and provide a means
   to let you choose the context of the text widget (i.e. where it will display 
   itself).
 * One of the options is on the Front page or Blog page. That would help you and
   avoid having to insert HTML into the front PHP page.
