 * I need someone to modify this code to call a specific category name and show 
   posts from that specific category.

 * <?php query_posts(‘cat=xx); ?>
    xx will be the category ID You can also use the
   category name or slug like this:
 * `<?php query_posts(‘category=category-slug-name’); ?>’
 * You can also use this to limit the number of posts on your homepage to be different
   from the number of posts shown on other pages as set in your blog Settings>Reading
   >blog pages show at most number of posts……
 * <?php query_posts(‘cat=8&showposts=4’); ?>

 * so I need to replace this `<?php if (is_category()) { ?>` with `<?php query_posts('
   category=category-slug-name'); ?>` or ?
 * Please if you can edit the whole code above ..
