How to put latest questions on my custom front page?

Question

I hope I'm not asking a real dumb question, I couldn't figure it out for myself :) I have a custom front page and I want to put a list with the latest questions on it. The full list of questions is on a separate page. I guess RSS would have to do with it but I can't seem to figure out a solution

I had this question myself. Change your home page back to recent questions and answers. (Remove the custom home page checkbox.) Then, create an advanced theme. In your advanced theme, place this code:

function main()

{

if($this->request=='') { ?>

//place custom home page html here

<?php

qa_html_theme_base::main();

}

else {

qa_html_theme_base::main();

}

}
