 * Hello guys!
 * I’m working on a project and I really need your help on this one. The achieve
   on any standard wordpress site shows all posts under a date. Now what can I do
   if i want it to show everything for only one specific category?
 * If you see my site at [http://www.kreativpotens.dk](http://www.kreativpotens.dk)
   u’ll notice that my theme shows a list of all post at the bottom-right. I want
   it to show ONLY all posts posted under this specific category [http://www.kreativpotens.dk/?cat=2](http://www.kreativpotens.dk/?cat=2)
 * If i look in the sidebar.php this is the line i want to modify:
 * <?php the_permalink() ?>”>
 * I suppose the_permalink has to be changed to something else, just don’t know 
   what to write.
 * Can you help me?

 * Thank you very much Danny!
 * I forgot to say that i would like it to show only the Title of the posts, if 
   I do it your way then it shows the whole post, which is kinda too much 😀
 * What should i change to only show the title?

 * `--- <?php the_excerpt(); ?>`
    just remove this from the code above. that should
   only show the title.
