    Here’s some sample code from Austin Matzko (filosofo), to get 5 posts in 6 different categories, that you might like:

    $post_ids = array(0);
foreach( array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) as $cat_id ) {
        if ( $posts = get_posts(array('cat' => $cat_id, 'showposts' => 5)) ) {
                $first = array_shift($posts);
                $post_ids[] = $first->ID;
        }
}
query_posts(array('post__in' => $post_ids));

    Thank you Michael! So with this code I only make 1 query and not 4 like with my previous code, right?

    And what about the tags? I looked at the Codex and it’s not very clear to me…

    Guess you could try the tag__in argument in that get_posts code.

    Thequery_posts() article has info on tag__in but I believe you can use that argument with get_posts
