# Category Display

 * I’m trying to create a header that pulls data from the most recent 3 posts in
   a specific category along with pulling the image associated for the most recent
   post (if there is one) to display. I can create the styling just fine, but I 
   don’t know how to reference and pull the post information. I don’t want to do
   a loop because I don’t want all posts.
 * I’m thinking of something along these lines.
 * POST IMAGE (overlayed with the title of the most recent post of a category, which
   is a link to that category, possibly referencing the date and time of the post)
   
   Under that, I want to put just text links to the post just prior to that within
   the category followed by a third link to the post prior to that one.
 * Are there specific tags to pull post titles and perhaps small post excerpts and
   display them like this?
