   Hello

   I hope / think this is a simple thing...

   In our left nav (www.FinancialAidFinder.com) we have an archive post list:

   <div class="navmain">FINANCIAL AID NEWS</div>

   <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=6&depth=2'); ?>

   I want to have a second such list but pulling ONLY post headlines that are tagged to a specific category. I tried this but it's pulling the exact same posts as the one above:

   <div class="navmain">SCHOLARSHIP LIST</div>

   <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=4&depth=2'); ?>

   Scholarship posts are cat=4

   Does the problem have something to do with the postbypost type or ...?

   You are trying to pull posts. You need to tell WP to pull categories, and you are right to limit it to the specifica category.
