thanks for the link, but I don’t think I was clear enough. I am looking to display these recent posts in my sidebar and need them to scroll automatically own their own.

Javascript is fine… I really don’t know though… I just need it to work. LOL

This was SUCH a HUGE help! I really appreciate it! I implemented it and it works great. But now of course one other question. I noticed that it ends up displaying the entire post instead of an excerpt, or the info up till the ‘read more’ link. is there a way to show a small snippit of that post?

Figured out the problem with the category and the “/” URL problem. I had to set a custom permalink structure for the category. All I entered was “category” in the category base field and now when I click on the “news” category it goes to a page with all of the news posts.

Still need help on creating a custom loop to feed in 3 news articles to the static homepage though.

I have been running this through my mind for a while today… let me bounce this off you. What if I just added my news articles in as blog entries, BUT filed them under the category of “News” and then created a php loop on the homepage to only include blog entries that are under the category of News.

Got it!

I knew I was just mixing it up.

THanks very much!
