So I’m looking for a good wordpress plugin that would display the categories and maybe 3-5 recent posts from them. Has anyone here found something similar to that. If not, just a good category plugin?
The categories thing is its own function (forget what it is its in the default template just copy and paste it) but for posts simply:

It’s called Wordpress. Read the Codex. 
Thanks temp, but I’m actually looking for something the would display the Category name and maybe 3-5 recent topics underneath it, roughly in this format:
Movies
Blah Blah blah posted on date
bla bla bla posted on date
ble ble ble posted on date
Music
Blah Blah blah posted on date
bla bla bla posted on date
ble ble ble posted on date
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts
RT*M? :lol:
[whisper]//edit, This is also something you would ask on IRC to get a much quicker answer (they would simply link you to the above link :))[/whisper]
yeah it’s mainly just that I’m a pretty lazy coder, and so if someone had discovered a simple plugin to do it all for me, that would be grand.
By the time you install a plugin, insert it into a page, and then form custom loop- you could have copied and pasted the query from the wp codex.
It’s really easy to do. A plugin would be pretty pointless
Alright I’ll try and actually read something :D, thanks everyone.
If you get stuck, post things here and I’ll check it out!
