How to use the “get_posts” tag?

Hello,

I’m trying to create a page that shows a list of all the posts in a paticular catagory. I want to use the “get_post” tag but I have no clue how to use it.

I’ve looked on the wordpress codex page and I sill can’t figure it out.

Here’s what I did..

I add this into my index.php

”

<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5&offset=1&category=1’);
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>

• “><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

“

Then I would use the “<?php get_posts(‘arguments’); ?>” in the new page html.

I know this is completly wrong becaue it’s not working. Can some please explain how to do this?

Thanks
