   Might be a stupid question, but did some browsing around and did not find much on the subject.

   I want a page to load up and display let say only category 1,4,5 and 7
   And perhaps only show those on the side bar. is that possible easily?

   Thank you for your time!!!

   You'll want to use the category__in arguments with the template tag, get_posts() to retrieve those posts.

   Something like this in your sidebar.php:
   

   <?php
   $args = array(
     'category__in' => array(1,4,5,7),
     'showposts' => '10',
     'orderby' => 'ID',
     'order' => 'DESC'
     );
   $posts=get_posts($args);
   if ($posts) {
   foreach($posts as $post) {
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   <?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   
   <?php }
   }
   ?>
