 * Before I get in over my head, could someone point me in the right direction? 
   When viewing a single post in category A, I want another post from category B
   inserted at the end. The category B post will be the most recent of all the category
   B posts and will be only an excerpt of that post, with a “read more” link to 
   the full post.
 * TIA!

 * So do a get_posts loop in your single.php after the loop that displays the single
   post.
 * One example to consider:

 * Thanks, Michael, it wasn’t so hard after all:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (in_category(array('resources','news'))) :
         $postslist = get_posts('category_name=recommends&numberposts=1&order=DESC&orderby=date');
         foreach ($postslist as $post) :
           setup_postdata($post);
         ?>
       <div>
       <br /><br />
       <h4>Not free, but worth it...</h4>
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more »</a>
       </div>
       <?php endforeach; ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
