I don't currently have a blog, so will be starting one from scratch. I've tried the modules for Weblog, Simple Blog and Popnup blog from Xoops.org.

Like I said, I can pull the "headers" onto the front page, but it requires the user to click something to read the actual entry. I don't want the user to have to click anything to read my blog.. I want the last 10 or so entries to be on the front page by default.

Any ideas?

And thanks for the include syntax... I've used it on .asp sites, but this will be useful to a PHP newbie.

Shoehorning a Personal Blog

After trying Drupal, Typo3, and Mambo, I found XOOPS to be the most versatile. I'm using it for a personal site, and wanted a bit more than a blog, so XOOPS seems (hopefully) to fit.

Here's my issue:
I want my front page content to feature my personal blog. I've tried Weblog, Simple Blog and Popnup blog. As far as I've been able to tell, I can feature the blog on the front page, but can't figure out how to only show my last 5 to 10 entries in their entirety, with no headers or category lists, or links to "view other blogs", etc. I don't want just a link to my blog entry with only the title.. I want the actual blog featured.

All of these blogs seem to be geared toward multiple blogs and users. My site will have one blog and one user... me!

Thanks in advance!
