   I would like to be able to display the latest post from a specific category within a page - I've searched high and low but haven't found quite what I'm looking for - can anybody point me in the right direction or show me how I may achieve this? Thanks

   It can be done by putting the following code in the main section of a page template:
   cat=5 is the category id

   <?php query_posts('cat=5&showposts=1'.get_option('posts_per_page=')); ?>
   //while loop....
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   This solution requires a little php knowledge.
   Any ideas how to link a post to show up on a specific page?
