  Load in the fuel blog library;
  
  $this->load->module_library('blog','fuel_blog'); $posts = $this->fuel_blog->get_recent_posts();
  
  There's a few methods in there to get category posts or by date etc.

  If you are using the 1.0 branch, you can simply do the following:
  $posts = $this->fuel->blog->recent_posts();

  Thank you for your fast reply. I am using version 0.9.3.
  
  How can I load the code in the fuel blog libary? Paste the code in fuel\modules\blog\libraries\Fuel_blog.php ?

  You should be able to use the $posts array returned by Lance's example above and loop through it in your home view or layout file. If it is done in the CMS, you can use the Dwoo templating syntax in your layout input field:

  When I place the code from Lance in the home view I get the following error:
  
  A PHP Error was encountered
  Severity: Notice
  Message: Undefined property: MY_Loader::$fuel_blog
  Filename: views/home.php
  Line Number: 64
  
  Fatal error: Call to a member function get_recent_posts() on a non-object in E:\server\xampp\htdocs\fuelfmm\fuel\application\views\home.php on line 64

  Wrong $this.
  
  Change to:
  
  $CI =& get_instance(); $CI->load->module_library('blog','fuel_blog'); $posts = $CI->fuel_blog->get_recent_posts();

  I think there is something wrong. I get not only the recent posts but a large array with a lot of information.

  Are you print_obj() or print_r() on the returned posts?
  
  You will get a load of info back as those records (IIRC) are tied to record class objects. It's expected.
