[resolved] How do I make 'permananet' categories on the main blog page? (3 posts)

    I posted earlier, but perhaps this is a better approach. I am using Yourblog 2.0, I have the main blog page and I want to make my categories 'stick' on that front page (generatordevelopmentgroup.com/blog, the essay, event and news headers). Do I do that by inserting 3 widgets? I've read all kinds of stuff, but I still don't seem to be able to understand how the posts know where to go. I would like to have the most recent post for those three categories on the front page and then link to those category archives. I assume this is pretty easy and I am just missing. Could somebody maybe just point me in the right direction?

    here is a very cool guide in doing this in many ways, instead of me just pasting their code here, read their guide :)

    and if you have more questions don't hesitate

    OK, I used that code and got it 'mostly' working, but for one of my categories it will not show the post. If you look at the page (generatordevelopmentgroup.com/blog) there are 3 sections below the main header image. Each of those has a post in it, but only two of them are showing their post. Any suggestions? Once I got the first one working, I just copied and pasted the code so I would not have any typos (hopefully), but there is obviously something wrong...

    Any thoughts?
