Thanks, Curtis. A huge thank-you to Austin, as well. I had a ton of code before finding this article and was able to simplify my query with that small, simple line he provided. (I was querying posts outside of the WP install, by interfacing with the WPDB directly...but just the normal loop works great just by including the big 3 essential files.) <i>Subscribing to both of your websites!</i> Cheers, - Michael P.S. Great submit button, by the way. Great article…helped me out a year after your posting it. Thanks, Curtis.

Something like this: <code>query_posts(array('category__in' => $feature_cats, 'showposts' => 1));</code> Also, in the query why join the postmeta table?
