 * Hello –
 * I would like to limit the posts in my header section by 2 parameters – category
   and number of posts shown.
 * <?php query_posts(‘cat=1’);?>
 * <?php query_posts(‘showposts=1’);?>
 * Is there a way to combine these?
 * Many thanks
    sandra

 * I think it would be:
 * `query_posts('cat=1&showposts=1');`
