   I am wanting to use wp as a CMS with static homepage and about 20 other static categories but also have a blog and news sections. These sections will be just like blogs but will only display the relevant information. After much searching I have found that it can be done using http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts but that is as far as my knowledge goes. I do not know where to add the code, where to find category Id's, what code I should use.

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div class="art-contentLayout">
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?><div class="art-content">
   
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   //Do I need to add the code here????
   <div class="art-Post">
       <div class="art-Post-body">
   <div class="art-Post-inner art-article">

   what query string would I need to add

   Thanks and if anyone could make it an idiot guide, it would be very helpful

   thanks but apart from saving the file, what else do I need to do

   The answer "what else do I need to do " is somewhat involved and requirs a bit on understanding of Page Template, the Template Hierarchy, and Templates.

   Might look at using one of these plugins that offer either a shortcode or placemarker to include posts when you write the pages

   thanks, it looks like it will be a bit too much for me. I will need to get someone to do this for me.
