Wordpress question

Jun 3rd, 2009
I am designing a website for someone at the moment and they want a preview of thier wordpress blog on thier home page(not blog home page)

Is there a good way to do this automatically so that it updates itself whenever a new blog is posted or will it be a lot easier to just do it manually?

I have a completly free reign over what languages and how the home page will be coded.

Any help greatly appreciated.
