   Add the following line to Index.php (in your theme) in between the get header and have posts lines. using your categories numbers of course

   `<?php get_header(); ?>

   <?php query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-23,-20"); //Block categories 20 and 23 from main page ?>

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>`

   One addendum: I had to insert this additional code to make sure the category pages that linked through index.php didn't also redact the categories I wanted to eliminate from my first page. See below:

   <?php
   $homepage = "/";
   $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   if($homepage==$currentpage) { query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-3,-5"); }
    //Block categories 3, 5 from main page
   ?>
