Wordpress - Categories instead of posts on home page
Hi,
I asked this on the Wordpress forum a couple of days ago but have had no response, so though you guy might be able to help.
I have a magazine style theme that displays the 6 most recent posts on the index.php, in a three column, two row format (ie 6 boxes). Each post has a title and under that an excerpt with read more link.
What I want to do is instead of having the post links, I'd like to have 6 category titles with excerpts below. Then when a category is clicked, that will go to a page with a similar layout but with post titles instead of the categories.
I've looked through/searched countless posts on the web, but can't find a solution to this and my php isn't that great to sort it out myself, so if you could point me in the direction of a solution, I'd be most greatful.
Thanks in advance.
