Ok, but what about displaying multiple articles from each category. So, instead of only one post by category to have n posts.

Thanks, I am looking for that in months!

Anyway, this plugin is the closest I got and it's great :)

That's correct Mary-Ann (I just tried it), although looking at the plug-in code I'm assuming you could simply edit out strip_tags to display HTML instead of text, thus showing your pictures.

OK, that would be good but I've got photos in my excerpts and I guess it doesn't show them?

Mary-Ann, the plug-in options let you choose to include the first X characters of each post (which could give you a taste or all of your excerpt), and sort by date or by category.

I'd love to see something like this that incorporates the excerpt - I'm displaying the latest post from each category on my site but I'm doing it with lots of mini loops and I don't think it's very efficient. I'd also like to have the newest post at the top.

I noticed your feature request at the bottom of this post and released version 1.2 of the plugin.

It now includes an option to turn the cat names into links ;) Enjoy!
