    for example, just using smart-blog plugin, we are displaying all the posts in the blog page in a recently published order. In the same we want to display the short content of recently published 3 or 4 posts in the home page of the website (means not in the blog page). please check this link for reference for the blog page : http://constro-umbraco.potenzaglobalsolutions.com/blog/blog-classic/right-sidebar/

    You could create a partial view, I did this with 1 of my websites. So I had the main blog page, then created a partial view for the home page which showed the 3 latest blog articles. I then could use this on other pages as well.

    Hi Riaz, Here is how I do it on my site - I use a partial view on the homepage which gets the latest 6 blog posts - it could be any post though.
    I also take an excert from the blog and show that on the homepage.

    It's not smart blog but I think it should still point you in the right direction hopefully. This code is actually using Articulate - another blog package.

    Hope it helps.

    O.

       @inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
    
        @{
            var blogNodes = @Model.Content.AncestorOrSelf(1).Descendants("ArticulateRichText").OrderBy("publishedDate desc").Take(6);
        }
    
    
        @foreach (var blogNode in blogNodes)
        {
            var blogTitle = @blogNode.Name;
            var tempExcerpt =  @blogNode.GetPropertyValue("excerpt").ToString();
            const int MaxLength = 90;
    
        <div class="col-md-4 col-xs-12 blogBox">
    
        <div class="image">
            @if (@blogNode.GetCropUrl("croppedImage", "thumbnail") != "")
            {
                <a href="@blogNode.Url">
                    <img src="@blogNode.GetCropUrl(" croppedImage", "thumbnail" )" alt="@blogNode.GetPropertyValue(" altText")" class="img-responsive" />
                </a>
            }
            else
            {
                <a href="@blogNode.Url">     
                    <img src="@Umbraco.Media(1925).Url" alt="A blog post" class="img-responsive" />
                </a>
            }
        </div>
        <div class="copy" style="padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;">
            <h4 class="media-heading"><a href="@blogNode.Url">@blogTitle</a></h4>
    
            @if (tempExcerpt.Length > MaxLength)
            {
                tempExcerpt = tempExcerpt.Substring(0, MaxLength)+"...";
            }
            <p>@tempExcerpt</p>
            <h6>@blogNode.GetPropertyValue("author") / @(blogNode.GetPropertyValue<DateTime>("publishedDate").ToString("dd-MM-yy")) / <a href="@blogNode.Url#disqus_thread"></a></h6>
    
            <div class="author" style="border-top: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;">
            </div>
            <div class='clear'></div>
        </div>
    </div>
    }

    Hello Riaz,

    What I would do is create a new Partial view called something like Homeblog, then using the Query builder select what data you want to get e.g

    I want to get all "Blog Comments" from "Blog"

    You can also select how you want to order it, If you want to get e.g the latest 5 comments just add the following to your selection;

    .OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(5)
    

    Then go to your home page template and insert the Partial view.

    @Html.Partial("Homeblog")
    

    This is how I show the latest blogs on my home page which you can adapt.

        @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
    
    
    
        @{
            var selection = Model.Content.Site().FirstChild("blog").Children("blogItem").OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(3);
        }
    
            @foreach(var item in selection){
    
                          <div class="recent-blog-div">
                            <a href="@item.Url" class = "main-page-blog-title-links"><h4 class="recent-blog-title">@item.GetPropertyValue("blogPostShortTitle")</h4></a>
                            <div class="text-block-3">@Umbraco.Field(item, "updateDate", formatAsDate: true)</div>
                          </div>
    }

    How would you display the blogpost image here?

    Same sort of way.

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
    
    @{
        var selection = Model.Content.Site().FirstChild("blog").Children("blogItem").OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(1);
    }
    
    @foreach(var item in selection){
        <div class="blog-info-box">
            <a href="@item.Url" ><h3 class="blog-title">@item.Name</h3></a>
            <p class="blog-para">@item.GetPropertyValue("blogTeaser")</p>
        </div>
    
    
        var blogImage = item.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("blogImage");
        if (blogImage != null)
        {
            <img src="@blogImage.Url" height="300" width="447">
        }
    }
