In my Ask-Nik.info blog I wanted to display at the front page all the recent posts but not ordered by date.
I wanted to display every of my categories by 3 posts each. I've searched a lot of plugins but none did the job for me.
So I searched about a day how to do it by myself.
I finally manage to write a front page template which does this job for me. If you take a look at the Ask-Nik.info blog you will understand what I mean.
Here is the code :
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php
$all_categor = get_all_category_ids();
foreach($all_categor as $cat) :
$page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts('paged='.$page.'&showposts=3&cat='.$cat);
?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
