   So i got this thing going where i need one categorie (lets say cat=8) to go on a extra page in stead of only on the blog. And i know you can do it trough category page but that's not what i need. I looked and looked and found something usefull.
   <?php query_posts("cat=8"); ?>
   Ok so this works but then the posts come in full length, now i need them to be exactly as on my homepage. (maybe link can help, BitNerds, i am talking about the atari 2600 game page under atari>atari2600>2600games.
   I don't know what i am doing wrong but here is the code of my extra page.
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: my page
   */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="container">
   
   	<div id="homearticle">
   				<?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>of_get_option('home_feature'),'posts_per_page'=>100)); ?>
   <?php query_posts("cat=8"); ?>
   <?php if($wp_query->have_posts()) : while($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
                   <?php $meta_box = get_post_custom($post->ID); $video = $meta_box['custom_meta_video'][0]; ?>
                   <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
   
                       <?php if ( $video ) : ?>
                           <div class="feature_video"><?php echo $video; ?></div>
                       <?php else: ?>
                           <a class="feature_img" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'home-feature' ); ?></a>
                       <?php endif; ?>
                       <div class="feature_info">
                           <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                           <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                       </div>
   
                   <?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php else : ?>
                   <?php endif; ?>
   	        </div>
   
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Now i am not new to php, but just rusty actualy. I just think i mixed up to much to let it work. Please help

   ****EDIT***
   Apperantly it has something to do with the <?php query_posts("cat=8"); ?> because when i leave it out i see one post like it should be, but still i've got the problem of the category and multiple posts

   I'd first try by changing the $wp_query instead of using <?php query_posts("cat=8"); ?>

   change this line:
   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>of_get_option('home_feature'),'posts_per_page'=>100)); ?>
   to
   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100)); ?>

   then delete <?php query_posts("cat=8"); ?>

   is it btw possible to get the posts in alphabetic order? using the following code:
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: my page
   */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="container">
   
   	<div id="homearticle">
   				<?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100)); ?>
   <?php if($wp_query->have_posts()) : while($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
                   <?php $meta_box = get_post_custom($post->ID); $video = $meta_box['custom_meta_video'][0]; ?>
                   <?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
                       <div class="feature_info">
                           <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                           <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                       </div>
   
                   <?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php else : ?>
                   <?php endif; ?>
   	        </div>
   
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Change:
   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100)); ?>

   to

   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100, 'orderby' => 'title')); ?>

   this page will be your best friend when it comes to customizing the query.

   ok think i found it in stead of your code
   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100, 'orderby' => 'title')); ?>
   i did this
   <?php $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('cat'=>8,'posts_per_page'=>100, 'order'=>'DESC')); ?>
   And it worked for me. thx for your help bythegram
