   I know how to show the latest posts, but I want to get 3 posts by calling their IDs.

   <?php
   $lastposts = get_posts('numberposts=12');
   foreach($lastposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>

   Thank you.

   try the 'post__in' parameter:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Post_.26_Page_Parameters

   the query parameters are supposed to work with 'get_posts()' as well.

   for example:

   <?php
   $args = array(
   'numberposts' => 12,
   'post__in' => array( 3, 17, 234)
   );
   $lastposts = get_posts( $args );
   foreach($lastposts as $post) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>

   Thanks alchymyth, I manage to get the posts I want but I am having trouble displaying them in the order I input them in.

   <?php
   $the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => array( 44, 18, 36 ), 'orderby' => 'none' ) );
   if( have_posts() ) :
   while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
   ?>

   Any ideas?

   you may need to use three 'get_post()' functions -
   afaik, there is no way to have the posts show in any particular order, other than the ones provided by the query (date, title, ..)
