 * How do I show the titles of posts/articles from a selected group of categories?
   I would like to place this list (which consist of the 10 most recent articles/
   post) in the sidebar. Any suggestions?

 * sorry this editor is playing up. Try this code:
 *     ```
       <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=22&showposts=10"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
       		<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
