How can I display "Latest Posts" from sections other than "blog"?

[singhkays]

I see the code at the link below controls which categories' posts show up on the main page. However, I have two more categories (monthly roundup of links) that needs to display posts on the front page. How can I add support for categories other than "blog"?

@nishanths I figured this out, here's the index.html I am using on my site. I wasn't sure if you want this to be the default behavior for everyone but it made send for my site as I had other categories than just "blog". Hopefully it helps others looking to do this.

{{ partial "header.html" . }}
<section class="main">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="content">
            {{ if .Content }}
                <div class="markdown">
                    {{ .Content }}
                </div>
            {{ end }}
            <!--{{ $totalpostscount := len (where .Data.Pages "Section" "blog") }}-->
            {{ $totalpostscount := len (.Data.Pages) }}
            {{ $latestpostscount := .Site.Params.latestpostscount | default $totalpostscount }}
            {{ if gt $latestpostscount 0 }}
              <div class="page-heading">{{ i18n "latestPosts" }}</div>
                <ul>
                    {{ range (first $latestpostscount ( .Data.Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse )) }}
                        {{ partial "li.html" . }}
                    {{ end }}
                    {{ if gt $totalpostscount $latestpostscount }}
                        {{ range where .Site.Menus.main "Identifier" "blog" }}
                            <li class="post-item no-bullet">
                                <a id="see-more" {{ printf "href=%q " .URL | safeHTMLAttr }}><span>See more&hellip;</span></a>
                            </li>
                        {{ end }}
                    {{ end }}
                </ul>
              </div>
            {{ end }}
    </div>
</section>
{{ partial "footer.html" . }}
