Or any other possible platform. Working with wordpress has been a true blast and the fact you can customize it at will, really makes me love it. Some of my clients wanted this little feature added to their blogs, while you can also see it in action in the home page, (the 4 lists to the categories: forum management, blogging, web development and web business).

Usually WordPress lists a number of latest posts from all the categories. But sometimes we just wish to show off a certain category. For this, we need to know how to modify the code.

You don’t need to install anything, since it’s “easy breezy”. Here are the steps:

  1. you decide on the categories you want to list the latest posts from
  2. you find the categories ID and write them down
  3. you open the appropriate template file (index.php usually)
  4. you paste the code for this to work
  5. you tweak the code with the IDs and other settings

I have prepared the entire tutorial on the webmaster forums so, not to have duplicate content, you can read it entirely there. CLICK FOR THE TUTORIAL. We can discuss about it here, or you can create an account on Wtricks.com too, so that you can join our friendly community.

Best of luck with your designs. Please keep me posted. I’d love seeing where you’ve applied the “trick”.

A design in Photoshop, sliced and put together. The theme is called “dojo” and it’s my first WordPress design made from zero and not having the default skin modified. My previews works were looking like this: 24funblog.ro, lifetm.info, lafeminin.info (these are modifications of the default or classic style).

I wasn’t able to see how it looks in Internet Explorer since mine thought it would be nice to mess with me and stop working, the page buttons in the header are to be “mended”, they aren’t all working.

Should you see problems, please let me know. I am sure there are possible errors and you’d be of great help in this matter.

Thank you and welcome to the newly redesigned blog ;)
