Could you please share the code and procedure the achieve the above mentioned recent posts as per your suggestion.

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.

   @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?
