You can do this using several different methods.
One would be to really just have a custom category page that pulls only posts from a single category.
Another would be to have a page with a custom loop that only does the above.
You may want to read some of the docs like:

One would be to really just have a custom category page that pulls only posts from a single category.
that´s exactly it!
but even though i read the articles you sent me (i really did), i couldn´t figure out how to do that. i know it should be really easy, but the loop examples don´t show how to limit it to a category, but how to exclude one…
any further info will be really appreciated! 🙂
Look on the Category_Templates page under “What categories do you show to the visitors? “ – I think that’ll get you what you need.
thanks a lot for your help!
i finally solved it.
if someone needs to do this, here´s the solution.
i was using k2 as theme, so i made a new template file like this:
<?php /*
Template Name: Category id 5
*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="content">
<div id="primary">
<div id="current-content" class="hfeed">
<?php query_posts('cat=5&showposts='.get_option('posts_per_page')); ?>
<?php include('theloop.php'); ?>
</div> <!-- #current-content -->
<div id="dynamic-content"></div>
</div> <!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div> <!-- .content -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>
as you can see, i used the query_posts to limit it to category 5. then, i created a new page in wordpress that is almost empty, but on the bottom i selected this template file.
as easy as that!
Still don’t get it
Is there any better tutorial for this?
