Let me see if I can describe this... I'm new to Movable Type, but I think it can do what I want - I'm just not sure exactly how.

I'm working on an Intranet site, and on our main index page, I'd like to show the latest 2-3 posts from an announcements MT weblog - and from there, include a link to view the entire weblog on a separate page. How do I code that section of the index page to pull the latest entries from the weblog?

Thanks!

you can use the otherblog plugin.

The otherblog plugin looks interesting - I will check that out. I appreciate the tip!

However, does it matter that my main index page is (currently) just a static HTML page? It's not generated by MT.

I'm sure I'm missing the connection, so I appreciate your patience. Thanks!

yes, it does matter that the index page is not generated by mt. you'll have to create a new template for the index page and include the code for the otherblog plugin.

if you have php or ssi available, you can output the posts to a text file and then include that file in the main index page. this method does not require the otherblog plugin or having to generate the main index page through mt.

Ah - then perhaps ssi or php would work better for me. I do have both of those on my server, but I'm a newbie with them as well. Can you give me some more detail on how it would work with one of those options? Or point me to a resource that I could use? I appreciate your help!

this should be a pretty good guide:

Thanks very much! I set it up with ssi - very easy! I appreciate your help.
