    </div>

    <div id="news">



    <ul id="newsinside">

    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=news');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    </ul>
    </div>

    <div id="cal">



    <ul id="calinside">

    <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=1&category=calendar');
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

    </ul>
    </div>


    </div>
  • why not try the number of the category instead of its name?
