   i want to link to the latest post for four different categories.
   can't seem to get it to work

   <?php
   	$nc = get_cat_id('news');
   	query_posts('cat=$nc');
   	?>
   <?php
   	$latestNewsPost = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=$nc');
   	$latestNewsPostID = $wp_query->$latestNewsPost->ID;
   	?>
   
   <div class="home-header" id="news-head"><a title="news" href="<?php echo get_permalink($latestNewsPostID); ?> ">news</a></div>

   This is what I use to show the permalink of the latest post in "my_category", and in one instance, I use several of these loops on one page to show the latest post in three different categories. Seems like each new query doesn't conflict with any of the others.

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=my_category&showposts=1'); ?><?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php endwhile; ?>
