 * Hi,
 * Maybe somebody on here knows the answer to my problem. Thanks in advance.
 * I’m trying to display a list of posts, and I’ve got the coding narrowed down 
   to just the ten most recent posts, but I would like to narrow the parameters 
   by a certain category.
 * Here is what I have so far:
 * `
    <?php get_archives('postbypost',"10",1,"","",""); ?>
 * I just want the ten most recent posts from a specific category to show. I know
   that I’ll have to include the category number, but I’m just not sure where.
 * Thanks so much!!!

 * With that tag you can not.
    Try something else, like a recentposts plugin where
   you can select which cat to show.
