   categories.
 * My website is here:
    [http://nathanmock.com/](http://nathanmock.com/)

 * Basically what you need to do is create a new [Page template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)
   then assign your new page to use that template. Once you have uploaded your new
   template file to your theme’s folder, simply write a new page – for the sake 
   of simplicity let’s call it Latest Entries – then assign the new page template
   to that page from the drop menu.
 * You can easily build a new page template by using your theme’s current page.php
   as an example.
 * Leave the actual content of the page blank. Publish the new page. It will be 
   blank but that’s fine. In the new template file – once again for simplicity let’s
   call it latest.php – you can use this modified version of the loop …
 * `<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("
   showposts=x&paged=$page"); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>`
 * I used the `showposts=` argument so that you can show as many posts on that page
   as you want despite your settings in the admin interface – this will override
   it. Be sure to enter the number of posts you want shown in place of the x.
 * If you’re not sure how to implement what I have shown you I have included a complete
   new page template to a pastebin service. All you need to do is [download](http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1279867)
   it then upload it to your theme’s folder.
 * A caveat: I see your using Arthemia Pro. I used the free version of Arthemia 
   as a working example but I doubt there is any difference in how its page templates
   are constructed.

 * Thank you for your help. I got it to work fine, however, I have a few questions.
   Everything displays fine, but here is how I would like it to be displayed…I want
   it to show entries as it does on the archive page (using the excerpts, example:
   [http://nathanmock.com/category/art-and-design/](http://nathanmock.com/category/art-and-design/)),
   but not have the headline and category hover overs directly underneath it show(
   example: [http://nathanmock.com/subscribe/feeds/](http://nathanmock.com/subscribe/feeds/)).
 * Here is the code for the archive.php, it may be of help to you.
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       	<div id="content" class="archive">
   
       	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
        	  <?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
   
        	  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?><span id="map"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/">Home</a> &raquo; Archive by Category</span>

 * If possible, I would also like it to show 10 of the most recent posts, and then
   have a link that will update the page with the 10 succeeding most recent posts.
   So for example, the first page will show (1-10), second, (11-20), third (21-30),
   etc.

 * I would like use archive.php to show all the recent posts from all categories.
   
   What is the correct argument for do that ?
 * For instance, when I want show all posts from category 5, I call
    [http://MySiteURL/?cat=5](http://MySiteURL/?cat=5)
 * Where can I find the syntax to call all categories ?
 * Thank you.
