 * Look, I have this page, which shows about five posts of a determined category,
   according with the page’s name.
 * So, if a page’s name its Television, I want it to show the posts of the Television
   category.
 * Tecnically, I’d have to make query posts, kinda like
 * <?php query_posts(‘showposts=5&category_name=XXXXXX’); ?>
 * What Im suposed to do in the XXXXXXX?
    I tried the the_title function, but it
   doesnt worked, and Im not so good with syntaxes.
 * Can somebody help me, please?

 * Don’t put posts on Pages – if you are talking about [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages).
   They are not for that.
 * What is it exactly what you want to do. Don’t tell me **how** do you want to 
   do it… tell me what is the desired **end result**!

 * I have a website, about tv shows, right? ([http://www.overseries.com](http://www.overseries.com)
 * What I want, is a page, that will show the last posts of one single show, and
   other stuff like reviews about that show.
 * I just want this page, show all this stuff by the title of the page.
 * If the page its named Lost, then show all the last posts and reviews of the Lost
   category, you know?
 * its kinda like that…
    sorry about my english…

 * I just need to know what I have to do to query the posts by the page’s title.
 * **<?php query_posts(‘showposts=5&_category\_name=CODE TO CATCH THE TITLE_‘); ?

 * I’m curious why you’re not using [Category_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates)?
   Seems like that might be a much easier way to go about this.
