   I installed SingleCat plugin to be able to insert posts in a page.
   It is working brilliantly, but it always inserts the posts at the top of the page. I would like to be able to have an intro and then put the singlecat shortcode as I tried in my page:

   bla bla bla intro
   [singlecat cat=23 level=private posts=10]

   thanx much

   Might also look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/list-category-posts/

   I'm have this same exact issue, and don't see a resolution on here.

   It looks like it's been a month. Does the creator not monitor queries here?

   MichaelH, that's a great tool, but it doesn't allow for the display of the complete post, just a list.

   I too want the five most recent complete posts from a specific category to be display below an introduction. This thing is aweseome, except the posts all show up above my other content on the page.

   i came across the same problem.

   i believe the problem is, this plug doesn't follow the rule below.

   following is a rubbish maybe, but works for me.
