   OK, I did a lot of searching around and figured out how to use "query_posts", but it's not doing quite what I want.

   Here's the scoop:

   I've got a category called "news" here

   I need a page that looks exactly like that (title, excerpt, more link). So I created a new template for the page and added the following:

   <?php query_posts('showposts=10&cat=2'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; else : endif; ?>

   But the result is this page. It lacks the posts' titles, more links, and isn't displaying what I have set before the <!--more--> tag.

   Any ideas on how to replicate that category as a page?

   Have you read up on Category_Templates?

   The category looks exactly how I want it. So I don't need to modify that.

   What I need is for the news page to be an exact replicate of the news category. The reason for this is that I need the news items to appear on a sub-page of my "news and events" page, so the link to it will be output in my sidebar's page navigation. Does that make sense?
