I'm not smart enough to figure this out on my own, and hope someone here can give me some html guidance.

I want to list all the titles of every entry in a particular category -- basically, all my book reviews from my "Books" category. I've looked through the MT category tags and nothing jumps out immediately -- it seems like a case or if/then sort of thing where if the category is the "Book" category then list out all the titles with links to their entries. Now, how to make that call, and then how to put MT into a loop to list them all is beyond me.

Any thoughts?

Awesome, thanks so much!

is there a way to do this for 5 different blogs that all share the same category?  And from outside the database?

no one seems to understand what I am trying to do.  I have been asking EVERYONE.  

I have a site, done OUTSIDE the MT database.  

I use PHP scripts to pull articles from the database.  

I have 5 different blogs.

I want a PHP script that will list results, from all five blogs, that match with a certain keyword.

Well, I answered your first question correctly. Then your next question was rather vague, and charle97 gave a good answer based on what you asked.

Now you're talking about PHP and keywords, when you've already got a thread here about this. Have a little patience. Some of us do need sleep now and then.
