 * I’m trying to create a pseudo-blog page that will display only posts from a certain
   category and not post categorized as “blog” which my blog already does.
 * Any help is much appreciated.

 * You would have to create a new page template. Best way is to copy current blog
   php file which is in your theme folder. Then add a page template name.
 *     ```
       <?php /* Template Name:different blog
       */ ?>
       ```
   
 * To the top of the file.
 * Upload the new file which is a copy of your original blog file besides the code
   you added above.
 * Then when you create a page, on the right side there is a drop down menu asking
   which page template you want. If all goes well your new template you just uploaded
   to your theme folder should be listed.
 * You can edit the new file how you want.
 * To only call posts from one category you could do this.
 * `<?php query_posts('query_posts('category_name=Staff Home'); ?>`
 * Put that above the loop in your new blog page . should work.
