   Hello!

   Im building a site for a client and im making i widget to display "news" (posts from a specified category) on the firstpage. However, im having some trouble printing it correctly on the screen.

   echo $before_widget;
   		echo '
   		<article class="news">
   			<header class="heading small">
   				<span class="icon icon-news">
   				</span>
   				<hgroup>
   					<h2>' . $title . '</h2>
   					<h4>' . $subtitle . '</h4>
   				</hgroup>
   			</header>';
   
   			$recent = new WP_Query("cat=". $cat ."&showposts=". $posts .""); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();
   
   			echo '
   			<div class="news-item">
   				<a href="'.the_permalink().'" class="heavy">'.the_title().'</a>
   				<p class="news-excerpt">
   					'.the_excerpt().'
   					<span class="read-more"><a href="'.the_permalink().'">Läs mer...</a></span>
   				</p>
   			</div>';
   
   			endwhile;
   
   		echo '
   		</article>
   		';
   
   		echo $after_widget;

   As you probably see im no phpcoder :( Right now the output is: All the functions for permalinks, title and all that gets executed first, then my "layout" is beneeth it, empty. What am i doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance!

   Solved it myself!

   echo '
   <div class="news-item">
   <a href="';
   the_permalink();
   echo '" class="heavy">';
   the_title();
   echo '</a><p class="news-excerpt">';
   the_excerpt();
   echo '<span class="read-more"><a href="';
   the_permalink();
   echo '">Läs mer...</a></span></p></div>';
