    I am trying to set up a system that only shows 12 posts per page in 2 seperate columns. I have the 2 columns set up they just show the same posts so I am trying to use this code.

    <?php if (have_posts());  ?>
<?php while (have_posts()&& $postNumber < 6) : the_post(); ?>

    at the top of the page and this on the next column
    <?php while (have_posts()&& $postNumber < 6) : the_post(); ?>

    Where can I put &showposts. Any time I do a WP query it pulls posts from all categories instead of just one.

    Then you need to create a query that limits the posts pulled to only certain categories or excludes specific categories.

    To do that I would need to make multiple page templates there is no way to do it with a category page?
