[wp-hackers] Pull Latest Post from Each of 6 Categories

[Paul]

Nathan,

Are you handling the display of the posts from the 6 categories in  
groups? Meaning are you:

1. Query for 6 posts in category 'A'. Display loop of items.
2. Query for 6 posts in category 'B'. Display loop of items.
3. Query for 6 posts in category 'C'. Display loop of items.
etc.

Or is it more like Query post from category A,B,C,D,E,F. Display loop  
of items.

I'm not sure why you are using 6 different WP_Query instances.
