http://www.contrecoups.com/work
that is the site i am working on.

So i have a list of work that will appear in the box under "Work," i want to add on top a link called "Blog" that will link to a page with blog entries, BUT i don't want those titles to appear in the "Work," link titles.

does that make sense?

I also don't know how to have the "Blog" link load a new page with that category entries only?

HELP.

i am usiing this for the list of work

<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5000'); ?>

The simplest way: have a category called "Work" and another one "Blog". The rest is done by WP and plugins.

I could, although before that it would be beneficial if YOU explain to me how is the whole site/content organized :)
I mean: what will be on this work/index.php page? Will it be a static Page (home.php?) with some static and dynamic elements?
Will the "Work" category be displayed ONLY in the sidebar?
Will there be other categories besides the two?

The way the site works.
It has a home.php file that overrides teh index.php for the site structure so that i can have my intro page with random image blocks as seen http://www.contrecoups.com/work

then i have a scrolling div box with this code:
where i want all teh titles from the category WORK only to show.

<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5000&cat=2'); ?>

but i also want to add on top where it says Work a link called Blog that i want to load a new page with latest 5 blog entries, and next/previous page at the bottom of the page too.

You are on the right track, if I understood it well.
Next what you need is an archive.pgp or a category.php (you can make those by saving the index.php as...) to display your so-called category archives.
If you want to style it differently, you can even use a category-X.php, where X = your Blog category's ID#.
See more details on:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

For further customization you might consider this plugin:
http://guff.szub.net/2005/07/21/post-templates-by-category/

HTH
Then add manually a link to the top of your home.php pointing to the Blog category - depending on your permalinks it would be something like
example.com/?cat=X or
example.com/category/blog
(Note you can replace the word "category" with anything you like, but you cannot leave it out)

Also do you have any idea why those titles on the left don't return to the line and all butt each other.

so that worked for th blog page.

now, i just thought of another loop hole.

say i want only the latest 5 posts in BLOG to show and then have NEXT / PREVIOUS entry button at the bottom of that page to go the other posts of BLOG only so that i don't end up with a page that has 200 entries in the next 4 months...

sorry to ask so many questions, it's all confusing.

it might be worth noting i am not using a sidebar.php or content.php or whatever, i remade a single page with all my code i find it easier this way to manage.

You mean to show in that "frame-like" thing only the posts from the Work category?

It depends what kind of code (Loop) are you using there. Oh, I see now, you mentioned above using the get_archives. That wouldn't work, since it doesn't have a category exclusion feature.

Instead, consider using a mini-Loop, query_posts or something like that.

<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
