I'm only able to get 1 post to appear and its not from category 5. What gives.
I made extra space so its readable.
<div class="post2"><!--Secondary Posting For Previous Projects-->
<?php query_posts('showposts=1&cat=4'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post-title">
<div class="ratings">Rating stars go here</div>
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="post-date"><span class="author">Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span> <?php echo get_the_date(); ?></div>
</div>
<div class="post-pic"> </div>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="meta-post">
