   Hi there I´ve managed to make a page that loads recent post of different categories. code looks like this:

   <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=8&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
                <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
                <?php the_content('Read more'); ?>
               <?php endwhile; ?>

   The post with cat id 8 has a more tag in it, but i don't see the read more link in the output can someone help me out on this one?

   Try this before the_content

   <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>

   I'm sorry i've put in a post that doesn't have the more tag in it DUH!
   Could you tell me what the extra code does?

   THIS CODE WORKS!
   

   <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=5&showposts=1"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
                <h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
   			<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
                <?php the_content('Read More..'); ?>
               <?php endwhile; ?>
