   Can anyone walk me through how to set up a widget so that it only pulls in ONE category of posts?
   Right now, all I have is the Recent Posts, and have copied that PHP to the homepage, where I'd like to feature one category of Posts - "What's New" - but not all of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

   Consider downloading and installing Otto's PHP Code Widget.

   Then put this in one of those widgets:

   <?php
   //get 7 posts for category id 7
   $posts=get_posts('cat=7&showposts=5');
   if ($posts) {
   foreach($posts as $post) {
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   <?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   
   <?php }
   }
   ?>
