Something like a newspaper style for Wordpress?

    Is there a plugin for Word Press that would allow me to create a newspaper looking layout for the main page? For example if I had a category called entertainment the plugin would allow me to show the most recent post only for that category in a unique place on the main page.

    WP just has the main loop that shows the most recent post and what category it is in. Thanks, :p

    Your after a theme, not a plugin.

    Give this one a shot - The design is a bit dark but could easily be changed if dark isn't what you're looking for.

    Thanks for the replies. Actually it's not a theme I'm looking for. Let's say you made 3 categories, Sports, Entertainment and Movies. Now let's say you wanted all the newest movie posts to show up in a table somewhere on your blog. Right now I can't figure out how to do that since the newest post in the loop will always replace movie posts, unless the movie posts are the newest.

    The revolution theme AFAIK also has this problem. All WP blogs have to follow the loop. I've seen a few plugins that let you pull out the title which then links to a posts of a certain category but nothing that would give me finer control.

    Some theme's have a featured post area on the main page. This seems to be an article pulled out of the main loop. I don't want to do this by hand coding and referencing a post each time.
