 * Hi all.
 * this is the code my theme uses for the loop in the home page. It displays one
   post from one catagory only.
 * by default, the catagory in the code is set to one. There is no posts in that.
   And the site appears correct. ( nothing appears where the posts is supposed to..)
 * But, when I put category as 3, where there is the post, the site gets broken –
   Just after the Permalink to the post appears.
 * Check it out please. [http://72.47.201.50](http://72.47.201.50)
 * Here is the LOOP CODE
 *     ```
       <h2>Bangladesh News</h2>
   
       			<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=3&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
       			<b><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></b>
       			<?php the_content_limit(130, ""); ?>
   
       			<div class="hppostmeta">
       				<p><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> | <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">Read the story &raquo;</a></p>
       			</div>
   
       			<?php endwhile; ?><br />
       ```
