This is helpful… but i’m still having some issues.
<?php query_posts('showposts=1&;cat=679');
if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- begin post -->
<div class="post">
<h2><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->cat_ID); ?>"><?php echo $category->name ?></a></h2>
<p class="date"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on <?php the_time('m j, Y') ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></p>
<div class="thumb"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php dp_attachment_image($post->ID, 'medium', 'alt="' . $post->post_title . '"'); ?></a></div>
<p><?php echo dp_clean($post->post_content, 200); ?></p>
<a class="readmore" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More</a>
</div>
<!-- end post -->
<?pgp endwhile; endif; ?>
Any thoughts?
