 * Hello,
    I want to have a separate area on my home page that will show the posts
   that I assign a category called “featured” on a separate area. How can I do that?(
   This area is to be separate from the regular showing of posts)

 * A simple but not 100% elegant sollution is this:
 * Add the following to the index.php of your theme, just below “the loop”:
    `<?
   php if (in_category('218')) continue; ?>` “218” of course should be the category
   ID of your “featured” category. (And just in case, “the loop” is this `<?php 
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`)
 * This will exclude the category “featured” from the index.
 * Then make a link in the “blogroll” or whereever directly to the category.
