 * Is there any way that you could make a page for a specific category of posts?
   So on this page all posts with that category would be displayed.

 * A froum
    [thread](http://css-tricks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6664) that
   discusses this.
 * In its most simplest form:
 * 1. He creates a template called “freebies.php”
 * 2. In that template he has a loop running to only show posts that have a category
   of “freebies”
 * 3. In the WP backend he creates a new page called “Freebies” and in the right
   sidebar selects the Freebies template that he created in step #1
 * Now when you click on the Freebies page it will list all posts that have a category
   of “freebies”, but it is not a category page (ie, not using category.php or archive.
   php).
 * Does that make sense?
 *     ```
       ?php query_posts('cat=5'); ?>
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
          <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Just need to find out what the category id# is!
 * hope that’s what you were looking for.

 * In code:

       $cat_id = get_cat_ID('events');
       ```
