    I created a page on wordpress. On this page I want to show a recent post from 3 specific categories.

    Anyone who can point me in the right direction?

    Thanks!

    <?php
$cat_id = get_cat_ID('yourcategoryhere');
$args=array(
  'cat' => $cat_id,
  'post_type' => 'post',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 3,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
