Wordpress multiple loops ... category specific??

    Hello all,

    I am creating a site, using wp, and I want to have a slideshow on the front page. (www.hitechgadgetspro.com) I have made the slideshow, but it posts bogus images that do not link anywhere for now.

    I would like to run a second wordpress loop there and have the posts from that loop run the slideshow, and that way it'll update without having to re-upload via FTP every time.

    So my question is... Can I have a second loop running there that shows posts from only ONE category... in this case...the "slideshow" category.

    any help or advice would be greatly apreciated,

    thanks

    All the information about 'the loop' that youll ever need to know is right here:
    codex(dot)wordpress(dot)org/The_Loop_in_Action

    And yes, you can run multiple loops and only do certain categories... it's all in that link above.

    If you need anymore help, just ask.
