Paginating Posts in a Category List

Hi fellow wordpress professors!

I’ve run into a roadblock!

I’m building the site: http://www.lyceummedia.com

The “press releases” link goes to a list of posts within the category “press releases”. This works fine, but the client doesn’t like how long the list is and wants it to paginate.

I’m using:

<?php query_posts('showposts=10000'); ?>
                         <div class="archives">
                             <ul>
                              <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                                <li>
                                	<div class="boink">
                                        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h2 class="h2poke"><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
                                        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                                    </div>
                                </li>
                              <?php endwhile; ?>
                             </ul>
                         </div>

to generate the list.

I’ve been searching all over the codex and can’t find anything that helps.

So.. help! 🙂 It is much appreciated.
