Showing latest posts on non-blog page

[S Flynn]

I'm an eternal noob at CF, but i did manage to get the Blog rolling.  Yay!

My question is: What's the best way to show the latest blogs (title, teaser, URL) on my regular website home page (not part of the blog)?

Knowing what a CFMonster Ray Camden is, i'm assuming there's a more elegant solution than me trying to query the db!  That's always a disaster.  :-)

My friend just threw this at me and it works like a charm:
