   I'm trying to keep one of my categories out of the loop and only in a category archive page that is separate. Is there anyway that I can hide this category (category 11) from the loop so it shows all posts but any that are posted in category 11? Thanks!

   query_posts

   for instance:
   

   global $wp_query;
   $args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( 'category__not_in' => array(11) ) );
   query_posts( $args );

   Ok, that makes sense, thanks for sharing it. I think I'm getting hung up on exactly where that need to go. I've tried putting it right before the loop starts as suggested in the third link you provided. Do you have any suggestion where it needs to go? Thanks in advance!

   as you said already, before the start of the loop; before the if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : ....... code
