Hi,
I have been loving the discovery of the 'Page of posts' way of showing a list of posts from one category on a page.
However, it would be great if I could add the following:
Allow multiple categories to be listed in the page (currently you can only show one)
Allow for body text to also appear on the page - at present you can only show the list of posts. Would be great to add some introductory text at the beginning of the page.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Allow multiple categories to be listed in the page (currently you can only show one)
how to use the parameter see:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
as far as i know, you can use these parameters with get_posts() as well.
Allow for body text to also appear on the page
put a standard loop
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop_in_Action
before the get_posts() bit (assuming that you followed the example in the codex 'page-of-posts') - no need to use a special query there - it should automatically show just the page (what it shows depends on your code - could be the_title(); and/or the_content(); or... )
