Hello all,
I did a little searching on here for this type of thing and found a few things but were from a few years ago. I am hoping there is a new,simple,fast way to display my wordpress blog rss feed on my main website. I have a completely separate main website and I currently have a self hosted(subdomain) blog running on wordpress. Both my main website and my blog are hosted on the same server and the blog is a subdomain.(/blog)
On a certain area of my website I wanted to display my latest blog post in a small css div block. I'm aware of a few services like magpie and simplepie. I was hoping there was an easier way, because reading through the how to's for those, I'm LOST! What do you suggest is the best way for someone who knows really nothing about php?
