    hi, thx for the reply..it’s work ?? with a lil tweak to make it look nicer and all will be good.although with this way, all the category will be called… i did find a way to list the category that u want, so if you want to display just some of your categories on the main page, you have to enter each category id/name.i.e:the category that i want to display are FOrex and Entertaiment.

    `<div class=”block” id=”forex”>
    <h2 class=”block-title”>Forex</h2>

      <?php get_latest_posts(“Forex”, 5); ?>

    </div>

    <div class=”block” id=”entertainment”>
    <h2 class=”block-title”>Entertainment</h2>
    <ul id=”entertainment”>`
    but first u have to install the plugin “List Latest Posts Titles” and then insert that code above to your index.php , well, just an option :),

    thx again MichaelH.
