WordPress custom query pagination

Question

I have a WordPress site, where on the main page I list the content from more categories.

My question is, is there a plugin where I can paginate the results from a category? I mean something like $this->plugin_paginate('category_id'); or smth?

Best Regards,

If you're using the standard Wordpress loop, even with a query_posts for a category, pagination is automatic with the usual posts_nav_link. Are you trying to paginate for more than one query and more than one category on the same page?

Edit 11/20: I use this in several different places on one page to show the latest post in a category:

<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=mycategory&showposts=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endwhile; ?>

That link then goes to a category page that paginates for that category: Category Templates « WordPress Codex

I don't know how to paginate different categories on the same page. Must be possible. Maybe ask in the Wordpress forums.
