# query_posts questions?

 * I am trying to populate a section on my websites home page, that grabs posts 
   that are part of two categories.
 * To be more specific, i want to only show a post on the home page, if it is part
   of Category 3 AND 7, not 3 OR 7. Which appears to be what is happening. Here 
   is the code I am using:
 * query_posts(“cat=5&cat=3&showposts=1”);
 * The way I thought this would work is it would look and see if it is in cat 5,
   and then if it is also in cat 3 as well. Any help here?
