On http://www.3kwa.com I include on the homepage the first 3 lines of 
the latest post in the Logbook group, fine tune and your are set ;)

 >>bgcolor=#a4b6c8 padding=2px<<

(:pagelist group=Logbook count=1 order=-name fmt=#lnews list=normal 
name=-HomePage:)

with

fmt=#lnews

For the display of the latest news on the home page

[[#lnews]]
!!{=$Name}
(:include {=$FullName} self=0 lines=3:)

%right% [[{=$FullName} | ... more ...]]
