Excluding all categories but one, in ‘Recent News’ in side panel. What code?

I’ve found out how to exclude just one category (code below), but still can’t work out how to only show one category of news entries:

<li id=”Recent”>
<h2>Recently Written</h2>

<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; query_posts(‘showposts=10&cat=-88’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
• ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to “<?php the_title(); ?>””><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php } $wp_query = $temp_query; ?>

Any help on this would be awesome.

<li id="Recent">
	<h2>Recently Written</h2>
<ul>
<?php $temp_query = $wp_query; query_posts('showposts=10&cat=-88'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to &ldquo;<?php the_title(); ?>&rdquo;"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php } $wp_query = $temp_query; ?>
</ul>
</li>

Sorry for the previous posts’s scrambled code.

I found this!
