#slideshow {height:204px; width:671px; overflow:hidden;}

If i didn’t set a height, I would see all 12 thumbnails when the page originally loaded. Using overflow hidden and a fixed height solved this for me.

What I did was put a nested loop inside the existing code you had above. The nested loop called for 4 posts, so 4 X 3 = 12 total. I did have a problem however. I was trying to pull the first 4 posts, next 4 posts, next 4 posts.

I never figured out how to do this properly so I just added a count in my nested loop then assigned the cat= a variable. Did an if statement to check the count and if it was 4 it would set the cat= my xbox category, etc.

Do you have any idea how I could do what I originally wanted and have a nested loop inside the code above so that it pulls 4 posts at a time, then swipes all 4 across showing a new set of 4 posts. All posts would be the latest posts, first 4 latest, next 4, next 4.
