   Hello!

   I am currently working on a portfolio. It is based on pages being each of the projects I am working on (with posts linked to this page, as sub-articles).

   On the front page I want to show three projects/pages that I am currently working on.

   I can't think of a way of doing this, so if anyone has an idea please help me.

   As I am thinking it right now I would like to be able to add i value to a custom field on a page (no matter when it was originally created).
   Then when assigned a value it will appear on the frontpage, regardless of newer pages.

   Do you follow?
   Hopefully some of you do, so you can help me :)

   When you say "a page" do you mean a Page or a post?

   Forget that last question, just change $type to be what you want:
   

   <?php
   $type = 'post'; //or 'page'
       $args=array(
         'post_type' => $type,
         'meta_key'=> 'your_key',
         'meta_value' => 'your_value_here',
         'showposts'=>5,
         'caller_get_posts'=>1
       );
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo '5 recent ' . $type . '(s)';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
          <?php
         the_content();
         endwhile;
       } //if ($my_query)
     wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>
