Displaying Latest Posts Title from Certain Category Anywhere on Your Blog
March 13, 2008, filed under Blogging Insights
A few days ago, this blog was reviewed by Noemi from BloggyAward.com. On the review, Noemi pointed out a cluttered impression on my blog. Then I looked around my blog and looking for some spots to free up. Finally, I came up with the idea to merge recent post list on the upper-right sidebar into a tabbed menu on the upper left sidebar, below the first tabbed menu.
Having that in mind, I also wanted to display the most recent posts according to their categories inside the tabs. The problem is, I didn’t know how 
. Then I emailed Andrew Rickmann from WPFun.co.uk about my problem. He replied (fast! and actually I asked one more person, but only Andrew replied) and suggested using the “query_posts” to assign the category ID or name to the following codes used to display the latest posts. He also provided two resources to refer to:
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
Thanks to his replies, I’m can now display the latest post of any category on any page of this Make Money Online blog! And also, thank you to Noemi for precious suggestions and opinions!

Congrats on finding the solution you were looking for. Good for Andrew!
The blog still seems a little cluttered to me due to the fact that I have to scroll from side to side to see the side bar. However, most blogs seem to have this issue

Thanks, Luke!
I’ll keep getting feedbacks in the layout to find the best accomodates reader’s experience with any screen resolution. I think placing the banners on the right side can be a win-win solution to readers and advertisers.
I hope you enjoy the articles
Hey man!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and the sources you provided were great… but do you have the code straight up for someone a little less savvy with strings and query’s?
What I want to do is take this page:
http://pzfantasyfootball.com/?page_id=5
and instead of having it the way it is (sort of like a site map).. I want to display the title of the posts in that specific category (start and sit).
If you could email me a response that would be great! I know it’s sort of inconvenient but I’m not sure I’ll remember to come back here and check for a response lol.
