 * Can someone clear this up for me? I’m trying to learn how to use the mini-loop.
   What does this mean?
 * “$how_many=2; //How many posts do you want to show
    require_once(“blog/wp-config.
   php”); // Change this for your path to wp-config.php file “
 * Specifically, how do I know where the path to the wp-config is? My WP install
   is in the root directory.

 * Unless you’ve moved the files outside their normal hierachy, it doesn’t matter.
   The path to “wp-config.php” is relative to the file the require statement is 
   in.
