    Ok heres the deal. I dont want my posts to automatically appear on the index page. So in fact I want my index page to be static. How do I have my posts appear only in the their respective categories?

    If you are running the latest version of WP you have the option to designate a static page (e.g., About) as your blog’s front page.

    Moreover, in any version of WP you can make the index.php behave any way you want. You can remove the WP loop code completely. As long as you have links to your archives and categories in the sidebar (or elsewhere in the index.php file), you can create single.php, category.php and archive.php files that will deliver those files when requested. (You have to create separate files for a single post, an archive post and a category post if you delete them from index.php.)

    Study the “default” theme for help in setting up those extra php files.
