Make ‘recent posts’ link to categories, not posts

Hi,

Looked around everywhere but rather stumped. Maybe you could give me some pointers. Many thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.

I want to create a list of posts, but I want these to link to the category page, NOT the post page.

So instead of having:
Recent posts
“My 2nd post” – which links to 2nd post
“My 1st post” – links to 1st post

I want:
Recent posts
“My 2nd post” – which links to the relevant category
“My 1st post” – links to relevant category

To get the last 5 posts I can use this:
<?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, 5); ?>
which clearly doesn’t help me.

Any thoughts on how to go about this. I’m a bit of a newby on template tags.

Thanks
