<?php 

query_posts('posts_per_page=3&cat=23');
if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

Paste the following code in singles.php file. I have edited the code which will show the Posted by and Posted on. If the code does not work, please feel free to contact me

I assume you meant to post that in page_home.php which I am using as the Home page template?

Its throwing the following error when I do that:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/rjtonlin/public_html/wp/wp-content/themes/twentyten/page_home.php on line 37

I also tried pasting it in singles.php but that didn’t work either.

Any more help with this would be great?

I’d simply like to display the “posted date” underneath the posts title
