My blog works great.
I also have a home page designed seperate from the blog.
Is it easy to display the latest blog entries on my main website home page?
Thanks.
Full Version: Linking Latest Entries To My Home Page
Assuming you've created your home page in MT as well, yes, it's easy!
Wherever you want the entries to appear, put:
<ul>
<MTEntries lastn="3">
<li><a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><MTEntryTitle></a></li>
</MTEntries>
</ul>
That's just a simple list of entry titles, but you can get much fancier. More info on template tags here:

You can bring headline links into a site on another server. Make an index template and save it with a .js extension, e.g. 3blogheads.js
Put just this in the template:
Then link to it from your homepage like this (you can wrap this output in your own style for the name of the blog, a div for a bulleted list, etc.):
This displays three headline permalinks; change the value of lastn to vary the number.
You can add a date at the end using the MT date syntax:
That produces this:
A weekend for winter veggies, art gifts Sat 9:16 AM
I haven't tried bringing in full entries, but I'd start here and play around with adding <MTEntryBody>
Put just this in the template:
CODE
<MTEntries lastn="3">
document.write('<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle encode_js="1"$></a>');
</MTEntries>
document.write('<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle encode_js="1"$></a>');
</MTEntries>
Then link to it from your homepage like this (you can wrap this output in your own style for the name of the blog, a div for a bulleted list, etc.):
CODE
<script src="http://yourblogurl/3blogheads.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This displays three headline permalinks; change the value of lastn to vary the number.
You can add a date at the end using the MT date syntax:
CODE
<MTEntries lastn="3">
document.write('<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle encode_js="1"$></a> <font size="1"><$MTEntryDate format="%a %l:%M"$> <span style="text-transform: lowercase;"><$MTEntryDate format="%p"$></span></font>');
</MTEntries>
document.write('<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle encode_js="1"$></a> <font size="1"><$MTEntryDate format="%a %l:%M"$> <span style="text-transform: lowercase;"><$MTEntryDate format="%p"$></span></font>');
</MTEntries>
