 * I have a site with some goofy requirements.
 * On the front page, I only want the latest post from a particular category to 
   show up. That I have setup using the ACE plug in.
 * However I have another page that needs to list posts from another category, and
   this page should just show the expert and can have quite a few recent posts.
 * Then I need yet another page with a nice introduction and then a list of the 
   categories.
 * What is the best way about going about this?

 * I got what I wanted working.
 * I took the page.php and edited it to form a new template that I could apply to
   the page.
 * The code I needed was:
 *     ```
       <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=6&showposts=7"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
       <?php the_permalink() ?><?php the_title(); ?>
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * Changing cat=6&showposts=7 as needed and then marking up what it spit out.
