How to show latest article from specific category

Hi,

You can accomplish your requirement with this function:

<?php query_posts('cat=-29'); ?>

This function can fetch the posts where category ID = 29…you can reassign on your requirement…you need to use this function in index.php file of your theme..

Thanks,

Shane G.

Sorry but that does not work.

Anyone else?

Bumpo. HELP please

For posterity… I found out how to do this. You have to create another loop. Thanks, DrManry for this. You saved the day

<?php query_posts(‘category_name=Headline’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<!– this is where the title of the Lead Story gets printed –>
<div class=”featurestory”>
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

<!– this is where the excerpt of the Lead Story gets printed –>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
