    Let’s say i want to get the latest post from ‘liveblog’ category, which part do i edit?

    <?php require('../wp-blog-header.php');?>
<html>
    <?php
        $args = array( 'numberposts' => 1,
                        'post_status'=>"publish",
                        'post_type'=>"post",
                        'orderby'=>"post_date",
                        'category'=>"liveblog");
        $postslist = get_posts( $args );

        foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
        ?>
    Redirecting to <b>
    <?php
        echo the_permalink();
        echo "</b>. ";
        ?>
    If redirection doesn't take place within 5 seconds, click
    <a href = "<?php the_permalink()?>">here</a>.
    <br/><br/>
    <b>Post Name</b> : <?php the_title();?><br/>
    <b>Date Posted</b> : <?php the_date();?><br/>
    <script>
        //location = "<?php the_permalink()?>";
    </script>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

</html>

    First, I believe that ‘posts_per_page’ is preferred over ‘numberposts’.

    Second the parameter for the category should probably be ‘category_name’ instead of just ‘category’. But, use the slug even though the parameter is category_name!

    Awesome! I’ve edited it to be like this

    $args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 1,
                        'post_status'=>"publish",
                        'post_type'=>"post",
                        'orderby'=>"post_date",
                        'category_name'=>"liveblog-apple-keynote");

    and it worked flawlessly. Thank you once again!
