I built a site for a client not too long ago and built it fairly standard. Now she has a WordPress blog and would like an area on the main site to have links to the most recent blog posts. Is there an easy way for me to pull a list of the most recent posts into this content area without having to chop the page up into a WordPress template?
Easily incorporate blog feed into site
You want to place the WP feed on the static site? Maybe Developer’s Guide – Google AJAX Feed API – Google Code

I have a WordPress blog integrated into my hand-coded site. I use SimplePie to display my latest posts on my website’s home page. I wrote a blog post about how to do this – Displaying WordPress posts on a separate web page. Hopefully that will work for you as well. Let me know if you need more information or help.
