I’m using a plugin to do this:
http://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software-development/wordpress-category-posts-plugin/
And your code should look like this:
<!-- SINGLE CATEGORY ARCHIVES -->
<?php if (function_exists('wp_cat_posts')) { ?>
<li id="categories"><h3>My Themes</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_cat_posts(8); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>
wp_cat_posts(8); <– where 8 is the category ID for your theme. (So if your category ID is 3, you’d put wp_cat_posts(3) instead of 8. Make sense?
You can see an example of it here:

Wow… Thanks for your quick reply. Do you have AIM, I think I am going to need some help setting this up. 😛
Sounds confusing.

No, it’s not really. You just download the plugin, unzip it, then upload it to your plugins directory and activate it. Just like any plugin.
Have you set up your theme category yet? Do that, and make note of the category ID number because you’ll need that for the code above.
Then just cut and paste the code I posted into your sidebar, making sure your Category ID code is correct, and you’re good to go!
I’m at work now (shhhh!!), but I’m home in half an hour. Send me an email (check my profile) and I can give you IM details then.
Okay sounds good! I will see if I can get it figured out in the mean time.
