Thread titles from 1 category on site index page?

[nchoose]

I am a very new user, and have seen several posts about getting information to the front index page of a site, but I dont understand it.

Can someone post step by step instructions?

I know for those familiar with PHP this is an elementary question, but for me, it seems like a whole new world.

I have created my front page in PHP format, and would like to show the data in this format on my front page:

Today : January 17 2005
Most Recent Post in Category A (just the text of the title with link to page)
2nd Post in Category A
3rd Post in Category A
(total of 15 here)

Yesterday: January 16 2005
Youngest post yesterday in Category A
2nd Youngest Post yesterday in Category A
3rd Youngest Post yesterday in Category A
(total of 15)

2 Days Ago: January 15 2005
(total of 10)

Thanks so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated! I have been mulling over these posts for 2 weeks now, and I have not been able to figure it out.

If you need to know, I am using dreamweaver.

If you could point me to the right direction. That would be a huge help!

I will get it..... eventually! lol :)
