If you download and install Wordpress to your host (pretty easy, really, I
think maybe 3 mouse clicks), it'll setup a very simple db via mySQL.

Wordpress implements it's own "blog entry" pages you can use to manage,
post, whatever, your blog. I got creative, and am just using it to Post
entries. On the main page of my site, which is NOT the wordpress page, I
just queried the wp_posts table in the dbWordPress database. It returned
the rows I wanted and I used a loop in PHP to format the html.

I didn't see any reason to re-invent the post wheel, so..use someone elses
hard work. :)

The only code you need to worry about is querying the mySQL Database.

Hope that helps.
