    Hello, i am new to using wordpress so there is a lot i dont know!

    what i am trying to do is get my posts to be displayed onto my website homepage.]

    i have googled various methods but just wanted to see if anyone here had an idea.

    i very much doubt since the two work very differently… but is there anything similar to the twitter widget where you have a copy and paste bit to put on a web page to display recent posts / tweets?

    thanks in advance!

    please let us know you blog link.

    To display the latest posts in a list in an html page read : http://en.support.wordpress.com/archives-shortcode/

    i use
    [archives type=postbypost]     in one “All Posts” page in my blog.

    Then you can make a static page with this shortcode as a home page of your blog from Settings -> Reading : then from option “Front page display” select “A static page” and select the page which has the list.

    Phoxis solutions will work if your blog is hosted here at wordpress.COM, but not if it is self-hosted on a third-party hosting site such as godaddy, bluehost, etc.
