Beginner in PHP using wordpress

[JoeLongstreet]

I'm trying to include the latest blog post into a current website.  This includes the entire blog:

<?

$a = file_get_contents("http://www.jenningspr.net/blogs/index.php");

echo ($a);

?>

but I want the latest post to act as an individual object I can place anywhere I want.  Is this possible and where can I find information like this?

 

Thanks,

 

Joe
