create a file to list 5 newest posts

Hello,

I have a wp blog located under domainname.com/blog/, I like to create a file to list 5 newest posts (title + first 100 characters of the post description) on my homepage domainname.com.

I use PHP on my homepage, so I will include this file on my homepage to show 5 newest posts. On the blog,

Can someone please help me to create a file to list 5 newest posts with first 100 characters of the post description?

I appreciated your help.

Thanks very much and have a nice day.

It can be done but do you want to hire someone to do that for you?

Does wordpress not offer "gadgets" or "widgets" you can post automatically like Blogger does?
