    I am working on a blog, here lookz

    I want the last 10 headlines to be shown in a column in the upper left area, beside the maincontent window.

    I need to create a new column with css, and then using some code from the archive.php file i suppose…

    I also need to make a backup of it all.

    use this code snippet..

    <?php
$cat = 2; // ID of the category you want to show...

$recent = new WP_Query("cat=". $cat ."&showposts=10"); // showposts=10 means you want to show 10 latest headlines
?>
<ul>   

 <?php while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>

<li>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); // title of the each post ?></a>
</li>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php
//done
?>

    Try:

    <?php
$recent = new WP_Query('showposts=10'); // showposts=10 means you want to show 10 latest headlines
?>
<ul>
 <?php while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); // title of the each post ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php
//done
?>
