     $connection = 
     Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
     $query = "Select * FROM neotheme_blog_post ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 3 ";
     $rows = $connection->fetchAll($query);
     foreach ($rows as $values) {
     $post_titile = $values['cms_identifier'];
     echo '<div>';
     echo '<h1>' . $name = $values['title'] . '</h1>';
     echo $summery = $values['summary'];
     echo '<a href="' . $this->getUrl().'blog/'.  $post_titile . '">Read More</a>';
      echo '</div>';
