There is a method in the weblog object that get the most recent
entries in a weblog category:

   List getRecentWeblogEntries(String cat, int max)
   Get most recent WeblogEntries in the weblog up to the number max.
   You can specify a category name if you'd liike only entries from
one category (or “nil” for all categories).

There is also one in the model object that does the same, but with a pager:

Pager getWeblogEntriesPager(String catPath)
Returns a pager that contains only entries from the specified category.

If your weblog is the Front Page weblog and Aggregated front page
weblog is enabled, then those method will return entries from all
weblogs in the system.

Please refer to the Template Guide for more info/examples.
