I'm trying to figure out how on the homepage I can only display the posts from just one category instead of several categories. I figured out how to display content from a page, but I want to display posts. Just from one category.
[resolved] Display only posts from one category on homepage (11 posts)

Use the template tag, query_posts(), and the cat= parameter.

<?php query_posts('cat=1&showposts='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>before the loop, you need to change cat=1 to the id of your category.
I would like to achieve something else, show posts only from one category but the latest post from that category to be styled different.`
What I have now does this thing, styles different the latest post only if the post is from that category, if the latest post is from another category I see regular posts.Any ideas?
