Do you have your copy of The WPCandy Quarterly?
The Quarterly is our print magazine all about WordPress. It is released four times yearly (hence the name) and is filled to the brim with exclusive articles about WordPress, written by some of the brightest minds in the community.
You could accomplish this by using a custom query loop to pull the latest from a single cat, and then just rewind to continue with a while statement.:)
Actually, today I was looking for a way to do this and also found a plugin here.
This tutorial has been also adapted into a WP plugin that is now available here.
The plugin offers more options, including category selection, excerpts with user set length.
