   Before I get in over my head, could someone point me in the right direction? When viewing a single post in category A, I want another post from category B inserted at the end. The category B post will be the most recent of all the category B posts and will be only an excerpt of that post, with a "read more" link to the full post.

   TIA!

   So do a get_posts loop in your single.php after the loop that displays the single post.

   One example to consider:

   Thanks, Michael, it wasn't so hard after all:

   <?php
   if (in_category(array('resources','news'))) :
     $postslist = get_posts('category_name=recommends&numberposts=1&order=DESC&orderby=date');
     foreach ($postslist as $post) :
       setup_postdata($post);
     ?>
   <div>
   <br /><br />
   <h4>Not free, but worth it...</h4>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more »</a>
   </div>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
