   I'm trying to exclude all posts on the Home Page alone for category '5', but want the posts displayed in single-post, category and archive view. I also want 8 posts on the Home Page.

   If I use the following code inside the Loop, the excluded posts are counted and I get less than 8 posts displayed:

   <?php if ( in_category('5') && !is_single() && !is_category() && !is_archive() ) continue; ?>

   So, I am thinking of using the following code just before the Loop:

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&showposts=8'); ?>

   How do I specify not to exclude the posts for category 5 in the other views?

   Thanks!

   Try using:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-5&posts_per_page=8&paged=' . $paged); ?>

   And create archive.php and category.php template files in your theme that do not include this custom query.
