Hi all,
I'm building a rather complicated (for me) blog and need some advice.
On the homepage, I want the loop to display a single category only. Easy enough - but here's the catch...
I want the "blog" running on a separate url eg. http://blah.com/blog/. This "blog" url should display the standard loop (posts and comments etc).
At the moment I have wordpress installed into the root of my site. I'm thinking I'll need a .htaccess file to accomplish what I need.
Does anyone have any experience setting up a site like this? How do I go about it? Can I add custom loops to wordpress pages?
Help!

I do such thing with custom queries
<?php
$Query = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT post_id FROM wp_post2cat WHERE category_id !='3' AND category_id !='2' ORDER BY rel_id DESC LIMIT 1"));
$Last_Blog_Post = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT post_title, post_content, post_date, guid FROM wp_posts WHERE ID='$Query[post_id]' AND post_status ='publish'"));
?>
<div id="last_news_item"><h3><?=$Last_Blog_Post->post_title?></h3>
<p>
<small><?=$Last_Blog_Post->post_date?></small>
<a href="<?=$Last_Blog_Post->guid?>">
<?=substr($Last_Blog_Post->post_content,'0','150');?>
</a></p>
</div>
