   Hello!
   Could someone please help me :) ?
   How can I do if I want my index.php (1st page) just returns the posts from the 1st category (News for example) and I don't want to use index.php?Cat=1
   Cause the homepage returns all posts from all categories if just "index.php"
   Thanks :)

   Hi,
   usefull tip, but I have a related question. Could someone also tell me how to have one category nót show up on a page?
   I mean, if I would have cats 1 - 10, I don't want to display cat 5, how do I do this?
   I presume I can't put $cat = -5; in index.php before the includes or?
   Thanx...

   In case this was not clear:
   I don't want to display cat 5 -> I don't want to display the posts in cat 5

   hmm..to have news only displayed you put $cat = 1; before 'includes' in index.php? I could only find one mention of include in index.php (and it didnt seem right somehow) and no mention of the $cat (variable? - forgive me i'm a complete newbie). Didnt work for me anyhow. Suspect I have some profound misunderstanding.
