   Hello. I'm trying to have a certain category archive as my home page.
   I found this code but I don't know where to add it:
   <?php query_posts('cat=X&showposts=X'.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>

   In loop.php but.. where exactly?

   Thanks in advance!

   P.S.: Child theme of TwentyTen.

   Hi !

   Although this might not be the most efficient solution, it should work.

   See this post:

   Uhm.. I'd like a more "clean" way! ;)

   Yeah I figured you would.

   I'm not an expert but I think you would change this:
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   to something like this(this example excludes category 4 posts:
   

   <?php query_posts('cat=-4'); ?>
   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while  ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   The easiest way to do this would be to create a loop-index.php file in the child's folder that contained your custom query and a basic Loop.
