Show List of Recent Posts Issues …

Hi,

I am using the following code to display a list of links to recent posts from my “blog” category (cat=1):

<ul>  <?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=3&offset=0&category=1');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>

This works great (got it from the codex); however, when I am in my “events” category (cat #2) it stops working … the code works on all other pages and in cat #1 … however, when I view cat #2 it disappears. Any way around this?

Thanks,
Damon
