    i am lost and probably the most professionals here don’t recognize my question as a question, but maybe you can still help me.

    I try to show results from one catehory only (cat=5) on the start home.php

    Currently i am using this code: 

    <?php if (have_posts())
{
  while (have_posts())
  {
    the_post();
    ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>

<?php  }
}
else
{ ?>

<?php } ?>

    i tried to add this:

    <?php if (have_posts())
{
  while (have_posts())
  {
    the_post();
    query_posts('cat=5');
?><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>

<?php  }
}
else
{ ?>

<?php } ?>

    Any idea what is wrong? Obviuosly i run into a never ending loop, but i am to less PHP programmer to get this running. Sorry, but every input is welcome

    it is always good posting a message here, so i finally find the solution for it somewhere else.

    This fixes my issues: 

    <?php $temp_query = $wp_query; ?> 

<?php query_posts('category_name=MYCATEGORYNAME&showposts=5'); ?> 

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> 

  <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> 

    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3> 

    <?php the_excerpt(); ?> 

  </div> 

<?php endwhile; ?>
