Hey team,
Here is what I am wanting to do...I run a camera lens review site with articles and guides and whatnot. I have a main Reviews page that I am wanting to auto-populate with a list of every page that I have "reviews" as a category. I am looking for a photo, the title of the article, and he first 20-30 words of the article.
Is this something that wordpress can do natively? Or a plugin?
A HUGE thanks in advance!
See this thread.

vtxzzy - thanks alot for your help, thats definitely a step in the right direction!
I have it working so far, but it posts the full version of the post...i was hoping to have more of a directory of posts something similar to
http://gameimprovementirons.com/game-improvement-irons-list.html
(on the left hand side with the summary/pictures)
any ideas? thanks again!
Then you will need a template for your page. You first need to find which php file is used to display your category. It is probably category.php.
Make a copy of it and name it category-44.php, replacing 44 with the category id you used in the URL.
Now, edit category-44.php and change 'the_content()' to 'the_excerpt()'.
That should do it.
