if in category continue stripping posts?!

    I’ve dealt with several WP blogs and one really annoying issue is with the following (and i’ve searched the forums to no avail):

    <?php if (in_category(’11’)) continue; ?>

    on this new page (still sort of under construction) i want to leave the main page index free for original content and i want to feed general news items into the sidebar…

    so i put the if in category 11 continue and specify cat 11 on the sidebar.

    in the sidebar, it successfully pulls news posts from category 11 but every time one is added to this category, it takes away 1 from the posts on the main page. I upped the count from 10 to 20 but I can’t keep just upping the number every few news posts or it’ll soon spiral out of control.

    is there any way to keep if in category continue from sapping posts from the main blog index like that?

    I can’t believe this is more clear in documentation (I’ve searched the forums as well) but I found it under a php 101 site. Its the “not” statement and its placement was a bit different for this php version I suppose.

    <?php if (!in_category(‘3’)) continue; ?>

    The not statement is the ! in front of the category stating that if NOT in category 3 to continue.
