   I am using
   

   <div id="frontpagepostpull">
   <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?>
   <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   	<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
   <?php the_post_thumbnail('front-page-post-thumbnail'); ?>  <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   	</div>

   To pull the first post to the static front page.
   What I really need for this is the first post in any of 3 different categories.
   How would I write that in?

   thanks

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $args= array(
   	'category_name' => 'staff, news, other',
   	'posts_per_page' => 1,
   	'paged' => $paged
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Thanks Esmi,
   But that (with the proper category names) did not pull anything to the static front page.
   What am I missing?

   Remember to use the category slugs - not the displayed names.
