I have a plugin in beta right now called WP Post Moster. It allows me to put the WordPress loop into shortcode. Then on the pages where I want post from a category to show, I can use this piece of shortcode. [monster_code the_query=”cat=90&posts_per_page=5&orderby=date&order=DESC”]

This is running on about 5 websites right now, and I’m still working on finalizing a few things. Then I’ll submit it to WordPress.org. You can see it working live on http://tildenoticias.com/ – each page is set to display from a category.

Right now the styling hasn’t been determined. It might turn out just to be a stack of div’s vertically down the page. The link above is more of a custom design where the boxes gid in two to match the newspaper.
