   I'm having trouble getting a Post ID on the homepage. I have my wordpress configured to only show a single post on the home page, and I need the ID of that post to fetch the custom stylesheet for that particular post. The code works fine on a single page, but on the homepage I'm not sure whats going on...

   So how can I grab post meta data on the homepage from the latest post (in a certain category)??

   <?php
       $id = $wp_query->post->ID;
       $css_docs = get_post_meta($id, 'custom_css', false);
       $js_docs = get_post_meta($id, 'custom_javascript', false);
       if (!empty($css_docs))
       {
           echo '<!--Home Page Custom css for '.get_the_title().'.-->'."\n";
           foreach ($css_docs as $css)
           {
                       echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="'.$css.'" type="text/css" media="screen" />'."\n";
               }
       }
       if (!empty($js_docs))
       {
           echo '<!--Custom javascript for '.get_the_title().'.-->'."\n";
           foreach ($js_docs as $js)
           {
               echo '<script src="'.$js.'" type="text/javascript"></script>'."\n";
           }
       }
       ?>

   Assuming you don't use sticky posts, then this will show you the post ID for the 1st post in the $posts object.
   

   if ($posts) {
   echo 'post id for first post in array ' . $posts[0]->ID;
   }
