    <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="75" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="50%" valign="top">

<h3>News</h3>

<?php query_posts( array( 'category__and' => array(4), 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'DESC' ) ); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><b><?php the_title(); ?></b></a></li>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a>
<?php endwhile;?></td>
    <td valign="top">
<h3>Blog</h3>

<?php wp_reset_query();?>

<?php query_posts (query_string . 'cat=3' ); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><b><?php the_title(); ?></b></a></li>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Read More</a>
<?php endwhile;?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

    Using this code for the second loop..
    `<?php query_posts (query_string . ‘cat=3′ ); ?>’

    It is not pulling from only cat 3.. It pulls from all categories..

    Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Thanks! Karla

    Find:

    <?php query_posts (query_string . 'cat=3' ); ?>

    Replace with:

    <?php query_posts (query_string . '&cat=3' ); ?>

    <?php query_posts (query_string . 'cat=3' ); ?>

    What is query_string, a variable?

    Can you echo it somewhere and notice how the query is built?

    I don’t mind paying you for your time if you can get this to work in the next hour.

<h3>News</h3>

<?php query_posts( array( 'category__and' => array(4), 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'DESC' ) ); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<li><a>"><b><?php the_title(); ?></b></a></li>

    Find

    <?php query_posts (query_string . 'cat=3' ); ?>

    Replace with:

    <?php
echo "<h3>query_string: " . query_string . "</h3>";
query_posts (query_string . 'cat=3' );
?>

    Then run and share the output.
