    I need to remove a category from my main posts page and I used query posts:

    <?php
if ( is_home() ) {
	query_posts( 'cat=-6' );
}
?>

    Since there are some posts in that category that I want to include, I added another category and assigned those posts to the secondary category. However, the posts still didn’t show. Is there something else i need to do to query_posts to include those posts? Is there a better way to do this?

    An easy fix would be to put all categories you want in the query and just exclude the cat you do’t want to show. Something like
    query_posts( ‘cat=1,2,4,5’ );
    Will exclude category 3 but include post that have category 3 and 4 assigned.

    You could automate that with get_categories() which has it’s own exclude parameter.
