   I am using query_posts function to show posts from only one category on my home page. By doing this, the blog pages show only the first page. So if the adress is http://www.my*site.com/page/3/ the page shows the exact same thing as in http://www.my*site.com/.

   I use this function inserted in index.php right after the header:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <!-- Showing posts from category 3 alone: -->
   <?php
         query_posts("cat=3");
   ?>
   
       <div id="content">
   
           <div id="main">
   
   <!-- the rest of index.php -->

   Is there a way to fix this? Or maybe another way to show posts from only one category on the main page and having subpages working?

   Example of proper pagination:
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   query_posts('cat=3&posts_per_page='.get_option('posts_per_page').'&paged=' . $paged);
   ?>

   See WordPress Default theme's wp-content/themes/default/index.php for example of using the template tags, previous_posts_link() and next_posts_link().
