   hello, i'm trying to show 3 news storys using wordpress php code on the front page of my website.

   I've pasted this into a page I've called home
   

   <?php
   					query_posts( 'showposts=3' );
   					if (have_posts()) :
   						while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   
   				?>
   
   						<h3 class="post-title left"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   
   								<?php the_content(''); ?> 
   
   								<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#more-<?php the_ID(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Continue Reading <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Continue Reading</a>
   
   				<?php
   						endwhile;
   					endif;
   				?>

   It shows 3 storys, but also includes a 4th which I can't work out how to get rid of it?

   you can view the example at http://www.boxberrie.co.uk/

   <?php
    $args=array(
      'showposts'=>3,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
   <?php the_content(''); ?>
   <?php
   endwhile;
   }
   ?>
