formatting the way posts show up

It looks like the plugin displays posts in a list format, wrapping them in a UL and LI element respectively. You could re-purpose your theme’s CSS stylesheet to display lists differently, but this could have unexpected results and effect the way lists are displayed on other parts of your site. I suggest instead of using a plugin, learn more about creating custom page templates and modifying the loop to display posts from only one category.
