   Hey there fellow WordPressingians,

   I seem to have a very interesting dilemma. What I'm currently trying to accomplish is a blog (for new posts, etc.) and a webcomic running through Wordpress simultaneously, on the same page.

   What I have right now are two tables, each displaying the posts, but what I want is one table displaying only the posts in category 1 (the comics), and the other displaying all the rest.

   Am I sane? (Wait, don't answer that one) Is this possible? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

   Take a look at the category tags and see which best suits you:

   Clicking on any of the tags shows their useage.

   Hm, I don't think any of those give me quite what I want. Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is displaying the latest post in one category on one side of the page, and the latest post in another category on the other. I tried a <?php if ( in_category(1) ): ?> then display post code, but that only displays the post if I'm actually looking at the archive for that category. What I want is for the main index page of my site.

   Is there possibly a script that allows me to display the most recent post of a certain category? That may work.

   Solved! I kept looking around, and found the get_posts() tag, and used that and some php to call posts from each category for each table, so I have table 1 calling to category one, table 2 calling to category 2, etc.

   I'll post the specific code if anyone else wants to know how to do this.

   Thanks!

   I would be interested in that code. I am looking to do something similar. On the top of the page post the my latest "news" post. And then under it post my latest story.
