Is there a way I can create a static html page each time which will automatically be updated each time I write a new entry.
The result will be an html file that will ONLY contain the following:
<a href="http://www.myblog.com/latest-entry-permalink">Blog Entry title</a>
excerpt of the entry will go here...
Hope someone can help! Thanks!
Yes.
Create a home.php file in the theme folder of your choice. Add the bit of code that snags the latest entry.
Like this:
<?php
query_posts('showposts=1');
if (have_posts()) : ?><?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title();?> </a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>
The file can't end in HTML as it won't get updated. "automatically updated" and "static HTML" are mutually exclusive.
This isn't a MU specific question either, so over at wordpress.org forums they might have more specifics too.
