   How would I pull the five most recent posts from a specific category? And then display them on my static landing page. If anyone could help me get started down the right path it would be much appreciated.

   Laid out this way

   <div class="post">
   <div class="thumbnail"></div>
   <div class-"title"></div>
   <div class="excerpt"></div>
   </div>

   I want it to look like

   image Title
   The story goes here and then it goes on for a little
   while until I capture your attention and make you wish
   to read the entire post...read more

   I just don't really now how to word this properly.

   Thank you for the assistance. I finally did get the loop to work except I can not get the content to appear in the designated area that it generated by the php.
