Categories Index / Table of Contents?

you could list the last X posts before the loop starts on your index.php by adding this before the loop:
<?php get_recent_comments(); ?>
i think you can set the number of posts shown, but i just cant find this one on the codex, search for yourself ??

I’m hosting off www.ads-software.com, so I don’t have acces to the source code ?? yet!

Do you mean wordpress.com? If you’re a wordpress.com user, then there’s nothing you can do. Templates are, by design, restricted there.

Bummer. I guess I have to host it and customize it myself? Thanks. Will try that when I can…

Ok, we’re in business!
I need to display the *titles*, not the posts. JUST the titles. Is that somehow possible?

Yes. But first it would help to know what theme you’re using for specific help and suggestions.

In general, you can remove any template tag from the theme template where you want to modify the layout. So for example, if titles and excerpts are shown, but you only need the titles, look for this in the template:

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

and delete it.

I’m using Pool and modifying it to suit my needs. I can’t seem to find the category bit…where do I look?

Cheers!
