Hey,

I just did something similar recently:

#Frame-02=======================================
### News item1 in right column
frame-02 < plugin.tt_news
frame-02 {
	code >
	code = LIST
	catImageMode = 0
	catTextMode = 0
	singlePid >
	singlePid = 166
	categoryMode = 1
	categorySelection = 2
	listStartId = 0
	limit = 1
	noPageBrowser = 1
	}
	
#Frame-03=======================================
### News item2 in right column
frame-03 < plugin.tt_news
frame-03 {
	code >
	code = LIST
	catImageMode = 0
	catTextMode = 0
	singlePid >
	singlePid = 166
	categoryMode = 1
	categorySelection = 2
	listStartId = 1
	limit = 1
	noPageBrowser = 1
	}

You can even select a different template for each object.

"templateFile = /fileadmin/tmpl/anothernewslayout.tmpl"

for example.

HTH succes!
