    i’d like to show a specific category on my home page instead of the latest post (as shown in the quoted section).

    How do i do that ?
    please show me the complete code if possible, i’m a complete php noob.

    thanks.

    This is my index.php code :

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id=”side-left”>
    <div id=”content”>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”kutu”>
    <div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?> i√ßin Kalƒ±cƒ± Baƒülantƒ±”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); ?></div>

    <div class=”entry”>

    <?php the_content(‘ ‘); ?>

    </div>
    <br class=”clear” />
    <div class=”postmetadata”><?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?> <?php the_time(‘d F Y’) ?> | <?php the_author_posts_link(‘namefl’); ?> | <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?> | ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”more”>Read More</div>
    </div>

    <div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <div id=”navigation”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘Older Entries‘) ?></div>
    <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries‘) ?></div>
    </div>

    <?php else : ?>

    <div class=”kutu”>
    <div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
    <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
    <p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>

    <div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>

    <?php endif; ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    I would like to know how to put something similar together myself.

    http://www.renderscene.ca has some menues that i’ve setup – they are actually pages and I’ve removed the comments, but I’d like them to post all blog entries under the similar categories to which the menus are named.

    Copy your index.php and save it in you theme directory as myfrontpage.php or anything else that doesn’t conflict with other files in your theme. Put the following at the very top:

    /*
Template Name: MyFrontPage
*/

    Replace this:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

    with this:

    <?php
query_posts('category_name=<yourcategoryname>');
if (have_posts()) : ?>

    See the query_posts docs for more options.

    Works wonderfully !!!!
    BUT
    on top of my home page of the wp page, on left side there’s
    /* Template Name: home */
    written.

    How do i hide this line ?

    here’s the code for my home.php

    /*
    Template Name: home
    */

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id=”side-left”>
    <div id=”content”>

    <?php
    query_posts(‘cat=4’);
    if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

     <div class=”kutu”>
    <div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”<?php the_title_attribute(); ?> için Kalıcı Bağlantı”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class=”tags”><?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ”); ?></div>

    <div class=”entry”>

    <?php the_content(‘ ‘); ?>

    </div>
    <br class=”clear” />
    <div class=”postmetadata”><?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ”, ‘ | ‘); ?> <?php the_time(‘d F Y’) ?> | <?php the_author_posts_link(‘namefl’); ?> | <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> | <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’); ?> | ” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>” class=”more”>Read More</div>
    </div>

    <div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <div id=”navigation”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘Older Entries‘) ?></div>
    <div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries‘) ?></div>
    </div>

    <?php else : ?>

    <div class=”kutu”>
    <div class=”ust”><span></span></div>
    <h2 class=”center”>Not Found</h2>
    <p class=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>

    <div class=”alt”><span></span></div></div>

    <?php endif; ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Wrap that section inside PHP tags. 

    <?php
/*
Template Name: home
*/
?>
