    Dear members,

    I am new to WordPress, but learning very quickly!
    I have a very simple requirement:

    On my custom category template (category.php), I would like to show a list of the 10 must recent posts for the current viewed category? Am I asking the impossible?

    How many posts per page have you configured in Admin/Settings/Reading?

    1 – I only want 1 post on the page.

    Then I would like a click-able list of other post in that category (just titles and dates).

    Something like:

    <?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
	'posts_per_page' => 10,
	'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>

    just above the start of the Loop should display 10 posts per page.

    After that, it’s down to customising the code within the Loop if you want a different display for the first post on the page compared to the other 9.

    Is there a way I can do this outside the lop?
