 * On my homepage I have a slider at the top and then three columns below that. 
   I would like to pull the three latest post for a category in each column. So 
   each column will have three post titles and dates for a single category.
 * Can anyone tell me what the Query would be?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * 14ner

 * Thanks for the link, I have tried multiple different ways of doing this. The 
   only thing that seems to be working is:
 *     ```
       <?php
           $postbits= new WP_Query();
           $postbits->query('showposts=3');
           if($postbits->have_posts()) :
           while ($postbits->have_posts()) : $postbits->the_post(); 
   
           ?> <a href="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); the_time('l, F jS, Y');
           endwhile; endif;
       ?>
       ```
