 * one for blog and another for news …i made a php file which query to wordpress_news
   just to retrive some data from database. I include this file into table into 
   the index of wordpress …but when i enter wordpress blog it shows me error on 
   sidebar on recent topic.
 * error is: wordpress database error:

 * If you have two (2) WP installations: A and B, and while on blog B you try to
   retrieve data from the database A without specifying the database, the script
   will look into the B database – and not finding it.

 * Wouldn’t it be easier to make a ‘News’ category, exclude it from category list
   using [`wp_list_cats()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_cats),
   and display it on the (static) index page using [`query_posts()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)?
 * Just an opinion, because i’m trying this on my localhost 🙂
