You probably need to provide more information here.

Is the blog data in the same database as your web site’s? If so,  
something as simple as:

Posts.find(…)

may work.

Can you fetch it via RSS, XML, or some other format and parse it for  
display? If so, you can have your web site fetch it, format, and  
display it.

Without more context, you won’t get useful answers.

I recommend using the Simple RSS gem.
