Hi! When I logged in to check around the forums I got a message saying “it appears that you have not posted for several weeks…” so I took the kAdvice and here is my brainpuzzle of the day 🙂

I am currently working on a new version of my website ([www.iChooseCake.com](http://www.iChooseCake.com)) and this time I want to get deep with the coding 😛 Well not really, but I want to add some stuffs and things I’ve never been into before.

Basically, I want a piece of my site (a “latest from the blog” section) to load content from my latest blog post ([www.ichoosecake.com/blog](http://www.ichoosecake.com/blog)). I just want to grab let’s say 2 lines of text and display it in that section. Just text from the content of the post, nothing from the header and not any images/video.

How would I go about doing this?
