Ah got it working mostly! I used the directory to C: it was pointin to and instead added the rest of the server directory on the end giving: include('C:\Inetpub\vhosts\tech-ideas.net\subdomains\blog\httpdocs\wp-blog-header.php'); Now its displaying posts where I need! Thanks for the help.

Unfortunatley it doesn't seem to work when I re upload. I change the name and now it load when you put the default url in - www.tech-ideas.net - but it still seems to be pointing there. the only other thought I have is that the server is a virtual server share running Windows, which is the only other reason I could see for it to be pointing to a url like that. Any other ideas?

Hi, I'm trying to add a wordpress feed to one of my columns on my website. I would like to be able to for example show the last 5 blog posts on my site to keep the content fresh. I've found loads of tutorials on using include tags for example but can't get any of them working. My beta site is located at - www.tech-ideas.net/test.php. As you can see as soon as you click it you get my error. I think something must be wrong with the php but I don't know enough to correct it. My blog I want to get the feed from is at www.blog.tech-ideas.net Can anyone see what's wrong with it? The only thing I can think is the link to the WP header ins't correct. The source for the site is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-GB"> <head> <title>Tech-Ideas</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <?php // Include Wordpress define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); include('./subdomains/blog/httpdocs/wp-blog-header.php'); query_posts('showposts=1'); ?> <div id="header"> <center><img src="header.png" width="500" height="100" alt="Header - Page title" /> </center> </div> <div id="nav" align="center"> <ul class="tab"> <li class="active"><a href="index.html"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li><a href="about.html"><span>About Us</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.blog.tech-ideas.net"><span>Blog</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.tutorials.tech-ideas.net"><span>Tutorial Articles</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.forum.tech-ideas.net"><span>Tech-Ideas Forum</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="colmask threecol"> <div class="colmid"> <div class="colleft"> <div class="col1"> <!-- Column 1 start --> <h1>Welcome</h1> <img src="perfect-3-column-dimensions.gif" width="350" height="370" alt="Three column layout dimensions" /> <p class="dropcaps">Hello and welcome to Tech-Ideas!. </br> Tech-Ideas is a new site available to help you along with PC problems small or large.

Ok so I've kinda of fixed it. The width on the boxes was forcing it to go outside the side bar. However without the width setting the text no goes outside of the box. So now the text goes outside the box instead of the box going outside the sidebar. Am I fighting a loosing battle here? I uploaded the new files here: http://www.filefront.com/16255375/WebDev---Packaging.zip/ Saves constantly attaching them

Hey, We have been set a task of re designing a web site at Uni (admitidley its a work piece so if its not allowed sorry ) I could do with some help aligning my backgrond image and right hand menu. I have a background image of 2000px. There is a white seaction 1600px wide and a side section of 400px that makes the background image for the right hand menu. On top of the menu I have 2 boxes that will have info in. But if you hold down ctrl and scroll in the background image doesn't move but the info boxes keep growing, and it just looks messy. Can anyone offer any advice on how I can solve the problem. I have attached the site in a .zip folder so you can at least see how it all goes together. It all works fine apart form that menu when you zoom in I am working on the html file index.html and using the style sheet style.css Thanks - Hope its nothing incredibly obvious WebDev - Packaging.zip

Hey Just joined the forums and stopped by to say Hi. I'm currently an undergrad Computer Networks student in Derby. I'm a member of loads of Tech forums usualy helping with PC repair, networking etc. I'm studying a Web Development module as part of the course and I'm really enjoying it so think I might continue to develop skills. Anyhow I will see you on the boards
