 * This is probably a dumb question, but I’m new to WordPress. So please help me.
 * I’m hoping to embed one category of posts into a page on my blog: [http://www.theemdash.com](http://www.theemdash.com).
 * I want to embed my “Em Dash Designs” category into the bottom of the page by 
   the same name.
 * So I included this shortcode onto my page:
    [showlist catid=”” lenght=”” listclass
   =”” excerpt=”” wrapper=”” wrapperclass=””]
 * And I filled it out as: [showlist 74=”” 5=”” aptools-list=”” true=”” true=”” 
   aptools-wrapper=””]
 * But when I did this, the only thing that shows on the page is a gray box.
 * Any idea what I’m doing wrong? (Probably a lot.)
 * Thanks!!!

 * [showlist catid=”74″ lenght=”5″ listclass=”aptools-list” excerpt=”true” wrapper
   =”aptools-wrapper”]
