   Hi,

   I'm doing a WordPress site with a static front page. What I could like to do is on that front page is manually call/display a preview of the latest blog post within a certain category.

   I found this plug-in (haven't played with it yet):
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-posts/#post-2550

   What I could love to do is hardcode this into my homepage template with php. I was hoping that someone knew how to do this or could atleast point me in the right direction.

   Thanks.

   Or using the template tag, query_posts(), in your theme's index.php script.

   Display one post with category 7
   

   query_posts('showposts=1&cat=7'); ?>
