Your table works okay when I paste it into a page.

Attributes should be inside quotes, you could see if that helps, i.e.
align=”right” instead of ALIGN=RIGHT

If you’re happy to get your hands dirty, this will do the job for you. I’m no WP expert so this may not be the most elegant solution, but it will do what you want.

Edit page.php in your theme folder to include the following before the closing </div>:

<?php if($page_id==11) : ?>
<?php query_posts('cat=2'); ?>


Change the number 11 to the correct ID for your page, and change the number 2 to the correct ID for the category you want to display.

Then add the following, which is just the standard post display lifted from index.php:<

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
</div>
<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>

</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

and then close the IF statement that I added

<?php endif; ?>


That should do the job.

Discovered the answer – there appears to be a bug in PHP 4.4.1, as referred to at the foot of this page in the codex..

and here

Switching to PHP 5.0.5 solved the problem for me.
