Is there html you can use in a page to simply show posts of a certain category.
I have tried to do this using a separate page template and the get_post and get_category function but it isnt working and i cant believe it is this difficult to do something so simple.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

The Page Links To plugin should do what you want.

thanks vtxyzzy, im sure the plugin works fine but i want to solve this with wordpress as it should be super easy. Like a html command (showposts="posts"). Most WP sites must have pages that do this.
Il have another look at the codex.
Thanks again
If you are using WP 3.x, and creating your own menu, there is an option to create a menu item that displays a category.
That and the plugin are the easiest ways to go.
This topic has been brought up many, many times. These are the easy answers.
WordPress doesn't really have a "page to simply show posts of a certain category."
Options are
1. Use the plugin already described or find a different plugin
2. Create a Page Template that displays the posts
