 * Hi! I’d like to display specific posts on my homepage by ID. Something like:
 * Post with ID 5
 * Post with ID 1
 * Post with ID 25
 * I hope you get what I mean. Is it possible to do that? Hope someone can help!

 * Bit of a hack, but from [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
 * Create a category e.g. index-page-posts.
 * Show only the posts from that category
 * Display posts from only one category ID:
 * query_posts(‘cat=4’);
 * Display posts from only one category by name:
 * query_posts(‘category_name=Staff Home’);

 * There’s also the [Get-a-Post plugin](http://guff.szub.net/2005/01/27/get-a-post/)
   that might help.
