   Hello,
   In WordPress, I would like to add a page on my website that lists its own articles separate from the articles on the front page. How would I do this in WordPress? Is there a way to create a category that doesn't show up on the menu bar, and have a page list all the articles in this category, but the front page doesn't list them?

   Yes and no.
   Yes = you can exclude categories from being shown on the main/index page. There are plugins for that or you can use a modified Loop.

   No = That's not a Page. (Pages are different from posts > see the Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages ) Probably the best way to do it is to use a Category Template.

   Hey, the link to the Category Templates is down. Is there a quick explanation for it? Or should I wait for it to come back up?

   I'm a little confused on how to make the posts in the special category not show up. Would I make a conditional statement, if category # of the special category, with nothing beneath it?
