   Hi

   I have a little problem with recent post listing. I think it should not be difficult but strangely I'm not capable of figuring it out.

   In my recent posts displaying column, I want to display the posts which are in certain category (category id: 237) differently. More specifically, in my recent posts listings, there are only the titles and their permalinks. But for the posts which are in the mentioned category, I also want to add the author name. But especially the 'in category' tag doesn't accept 'the_author' code.

   Let me give you my recent posts listing codes:

   <div id="habermerk">
   <ul>
   <?php query_posts("order=DESC&showposts=30"); ?>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <li>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
   <?php the_title(); ?></a>
   </li>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   </ul>
   </div>

   So in your opinion, how can I do it?

   Thanx a lot...

   Inside the loop:
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   You could do something like this to find the category and then do something differently:
   

   <?php if ( in_category('237') ) { ?>
          <div class="post-cat-237">
   <?php } else { ?>
          <div class="post">
   <?php } ?>

   You should also check out this method if all you're needing to do is style it differently. You can do the same sort of thing to give it a different class that you're able to grab a hold of.
