Custom Display WP blog posts on non-wp page

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 6, 'order' =>'DESC', 'post_status'=>"publish",'post_type'=>"post",'orderby'=>"post_date");
//'order' above can be changed to 'ASC'

Further improvement
//wrapped the_title (below) in H3 tags

$postslist = get_posts( $args );

foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<div class="events">
    <!-- The date will only be displayed once for posts posted on the same day use
             <?php echo get_the_date(); ?> to display on each post-->
             <div class="date"><?php the_date(); ?></div>

    <!--The title just displays the post title and not permalink -->
             <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

        <!-- The content displays all the content in the blog post including any html and images.
         If you wish to display a snippet use <?php the_excerpt();?>, this removes all images and HTML
             You can also use the quick tag <!--more--><!-- in your blog posts to provide a cut off point
             and still use the_content();?>-->
         <?php the_content();?>

    <!-- the post thumbnail can be used to fetch a feature image, which can be set in post editor
            (bottom right) can be useful if you use excerpt above -->
            <?php the_post_thumbnail();?>

    <!-- If you want more control over the size of the feature image change the_post_thumbnail() to: -->
         <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'full'); ?>

    <!-- The above will display the full size of the image. You can change this for medium or large too or
     specify a custom size below-->

    <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, array(100,100), 'thumbnail');?>

    <!--Also make sure your theme supports thumbnails, add the following (if not already there) to
     functions.php-->
    <?php add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
