What am I missing here?

[straightryder]

Okay, im trying to display 3 posts from the same category vertical fashion.

 

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.

You have showposts=1 and cat=4. Change that line to <?php query_posts('showposts=3&cat=5'); ?> and it should work for you.
