 * Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but…
 * Hi, I’m working on some Custom Post Types and they are coming along very well:).
   But of course everything can’t go smooth, and I have now hit a bump in the road.
 * My question now is;
 * **How do I show a post from one specific taxonomy from a Custom Post Type in 
   such as the footer.php?**
 * This is maybe not explained very well, so I shall try to explain it clearer for
   you.
 * Let’s say I have made a Custom Post Type with the name Quote and a Taxonomy with
   the name Genre (Taxonomy = ‘hierarchical’ => true, this make it behave like a
   category). Inside Genre I make two “categories”; One with the name New and the
   other with the name Old. Like this:
 * **Quote**
    – Genre _— New — Old
 * This works beautiful on the page, but it’s when I try to get the newest post 
   from each of these “categories” to show in my footer.php that things don’t work
   anymore.
 * I have done almost exactly this before and it have worked grate, but then I used
   the regular Categories, this was the code  used then:
    <?php query_posts(‘category_name
   =stallnytt&showposts=1’); ?>
 * **So how do I get my newest post from the taxonomy Genre; New and Old?**
 * This is maybe as easy as categories but I can’t figure this one out and would
   really appreciate it if someone could help me with this :).
 * I hope I have explained what I’m after clearly enough, my English (writing) is
   sadly not the best.
