Perennial newbie here with a stupid question about categories. I want to have a simple menu in a sidebar that lists the three latest entries for each category in a channel. It would appear…

Category 1
    Entry 1
      Excerpt
    Entry 2
      Excerpt
    Entry 3
      Excerpt

Category 2
    Entry 1
      Excerpt
    Entry 2
      Excerpt
    Entry 3
      Excerpt

Category 3
    Entry 1
      Excerpt
    Entry 2
      Excerpt
    Entry 3
      Excerpt

Can I do this with one query or do I have to have a separate query for each category?

Take a look at this Stack Overflow thread:

I believe you should find an example there to do what you are asking.
