Hi.
I know that there is way to use "get_posts" to show my posts in a static homepage. I just can't do that with my low-level php skils. So I'm asking help..
This is what I'd like show in my site homepage:
3 latest posts from the blog. Showing only post-title, date and the post itself.. Post_footer can be there. I used filter to customize it already.
This "latest post" area is meant to be in page_bottom(thematic). Is that possible? Thank you already. :)

I tried this..
<?php
$postslist = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=date');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<div>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Unfortunately it caused this:
"This tag can be used anywhere within a template as long as it's outside The Loop on the main page, though is typically used in the <title> element for the head of a page." <- wp_title
Is there any way to do this? Or should I just use latest post widget? Is there possibility to add date + excerpt to the widgets output..?

I'm probably missing something - but why don't you just use the option (in settings > reading)...
to have the front page show 'Your latest posts' and set "Blog pages show at most" 3 posts?
Then just list your 'latest posts' in a widget in whatever area you want? (page-bottom etc)

Becouse I've already have blog page which shows all the posts.. I just wan't have three newest in my homepage :D
I think I should use something like this (needs little more though :D)
<?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=3'); ?>
Not get_posts..
