# Front page category issues

 * i want to call only two categories to the main page but i want them to be separated.
   its hard to describe and the site isn’t live but i’ll try my best.
 * the first category has an id of 4 and the second is an id of 3.
    the site needs
   to look something like this: —————–
 * – Newest post from category 4 in full
    – Just the title of the next post in cat
   4 – Just the title of the next next post in cat 4 – Just the title of the next
   next next post in cat 4
 * – Newest post from category 3 in full
    – Second newest post from category 3 in
   full – Third newest post from category 3 in full so on and so forth.
 * —————–
 * i have accomplished the first part of this (category 4 posts are showing correctly)
   by stylizing a front.php and setting it as the main page. (i am also using the
   ACE plugin the make sure only posts from category 4 show on the main page.)
 *     ```
       <div id="container">
   
       		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php query_posts("showposts=1"); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
       				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
       				<div class="entry">
   
       					<?php the_content(); ?>
   
       					<p class="postmetadata">
       Posted on: <strong><?php the_time("l F dS Y") ?>, <?php the_time() ?></strong> and <?php _e('filed under'); ?> <strong><?php the_category(', ') ?></strong><br />
       <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' | ', ''); ?>
       					</p>					
   
       				</div>
   
       			</div>
   
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
       			<div class="post"><h2>
       <?php query_posts("showposts=15&amp;offset=1"); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       			</h2>
   
       				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
       		<?php else : ?>
   
       				<div class="post">
       						<h2><?php_e('Not Found') ?></h2>
       				</div>
   
       		<?php endif; ?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * now i don’t know what to add to make my page call only posts from category 3 
   below the code of what i already have.
 * any help would be appreciated. hope that makes sense.
