WordPress Theme development: How to show category based post in home page?

[sshuvro58]

Suppose I have 3 categories (cat 1 , cat 2 , cat 3) , and my blog home page shows 6 recent posts . I want to show 2 recent posts from every category.

Like

cat 1 :

Post 1

Post 2

cat 2:

Post 1

Post 2

cat 3 :

Post 1

Post 2

how can I do it ? Thanks in advance

You will probably need to run 3 separate query loops to do what you need, specifying the different categories and number of posts in each.

Your best bet is to have a good read of the [Query Posts Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts)

In particular the examples and parameters section – [parameters & categories etc](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Examples)
