Tag Guestion

Hey Guys,

I have been using WP for only a week so please bear with me. Previously i took the easy road with Blogger but I maintain 39 active websites and want to change over to WP and this is the first site.

I have set up a Home Page (http://www.cyberfishhead.com) and everything is fine except I need the following template tags. I have checked all the DOCs and I just can’t quit get it right. Any help would be appreciated.

For the first category on the page I want to pull the categories LATEST post ONLY (complete post)

for the rest of the categories listed I am currently pulling the category descriptions (lots of key words for the search bugs) with

<?php echo category_description(2); ?>

I would like a tag to pull the title & Excerpt ONLY of the most recent post in each category.

As I said, ANY help would be appreciated.

Michael
