   What is the function that lists posts. In my php page, I am simply trying to get posts from a certain category. I see permalink() and titles(), but I want the posts.

   i am trying to populate a page ( which I am doing with a hook or plugin) and I am editing someones site with posts already done. Not an option to it another way. I am so close, I can't believe something so basic is beyond my reach. I would think this would be a common funtion and request. Thanks so much for any help.

   I would like the arguments to be limit to the last 3 post in a category.

   Put this in a Page Template:
   

   <?php
   //get three posts for category 27
       $args=array(
         'cat' => 27;
         'post_type' => 'post',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => 3,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
         );
       $my_query = null;
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo 'List of Posts';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
         <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
           the_content();
         endwhile;
       }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
