Is there a widget I can embed on my homepage (not where blog is) that shows teasers to most recent posts etc?

Thanks!

If the homepage is outside of the BE application, then you won't be able to use a normal BE widget since the widgets can only be run within the BE application.

You could make use of a different widget that reads your blog RSS feed and displays the last few blog posts.  The could be done yourself programmatically, or there might be another component out there that does this.

One component you could use is Feedburner's BuzzBoost.  It's a JavaScript based "widget".  They give you a <script> tag you embed onto your site, and it displays the last few blog posts.  It allows you to configure it a bit in terms of how it displays and how many of the latest recent posts to display etc.

Ahh I like that idea, thank you, I'll give buzzboost a try and let you know how it works out.

Thanks!
