  Hi, I am wondering if I can create a page that dynamically displays my posts from only selected catagories?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes. For example code for your programming category might look like this:
  <a href="http://sheenspace.wordpress.com/category/technology/programming/">programming</a>

  @1tess, thanks. Looks like I can only create a page with 1 catagory, not multiples?

  Yes, you can! add the feeds of different cstegories in chimpfeedr – you will get a different feed. Use this feed in widgetbox.com (use the link “make a widget” and choose blog/feed) create a widget. Paste the code they give you here.

  The code has to be changed in order to work in wordpress.com.

  Oh, that code was only an example. The link is for only one page per link, but you can have as many links as you like on a page. If your theme supports custom menus, you can even have the category pages up in the top navigation bar.

  (Fusion does support custom menus)

  I haven’t tried that; does that display the latest post in a category?

  1tess,

  Yes… basically chimpfeedr creates a single feed from multiple feeds and shows the latest posts from the feeds in one feed.
