If you want to display posts by category you may want to take a look at this thread (and tweak the solution offered there)

Have you had a look at the WP Codex?

EDIT: You beat me this time Moshu, you don’t type that slow after all. But I’ll get you next time! 😉

I have looked at the codex but I don’t understand it!
That other link looks very useful though…I will give it a go.
Thanks for your help

Does anyone else have any suggestions for this?
In the link suggested the solution means all categories are linked to on the front page – I only want 5 out of about 36!
The codex isn’t particularly helpful to someone not familiar to php. I’ve found a way to link to one category, but not 5, and not 5 that are all laid out in a different way..
I used to achieve this using
<?php $posts =get_posts(‘order=ASC&category=2&orderby=date&offset=0&numberposts=1’);
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
< content>
<?php endforeach; ?>
and then laying out each category individually, but this causes errors now I’ve upgraded.
any ideas gratefully received
