A problem that I had earlier today was my inability to have, rather than a full length post only on my front page, just a list of links forwarding to recent posts. I’ve really been struggling with it, and am not sure that I’ve found the “ultimate solution,” but it’s close enough.

Today I used a site called Feed2JS, which is designed to capture the RSS feed from your blog and make a list of links to your most recent articles. From there you just need to copy the Javascript and paste it on the static page of your choice. You can edit your list by choosing the amount of links you want shown, whether you want a short description to show, and also if you would like to show the authors name. Additionally, you can also include the date with the link, which will then show directly beside the link itself.

With that said though, I’m still trying to find a better solution as a replacement for this temporary one. As you can see on my home page, the list of links still look a bit odd compared to other’s sites such as Garry Conn’s and Chris Pirillo’s. It will have to do though for the next little while.

If anyone knows the solution to this I really need your help. Feel free to leave me an email, comment, or even a Twitter reply. I’m looking for any and all help to finding the fix. One last thing I should mention though is that I’m trying to avoid using the WordPress Looping function, so I’d appreciate it if all replies had solutions that don’t include that.
