 * I believe I’m trying to accomplish the same thing. I would ask that if a moderator
   is feeling like a jerk, then to please NOT reply here, vent your frustrations
   somewhere else. I don’t feel like getting yelled at right now.
 * Anyways…
 * I have a page titled “News”, and I want POSTS with the category of News to show
   up on this page called News. I want the posts from the category of News to be
   EXCLUDED from the main page.
 * Yes, I’ve read the pages and pages of documentation, and I turn to the forums.
 * I’ve created a page template called news.php. I’ve entered in the loop “beginning”
   and “end”, but I’m just unsure about what goes in the middle. I’m guessing it’s
   something like:
    <?php if (in_category(‘3’)) continue; ?>
 * (news is category 3) This doesn’t seem to be working though, I’m sure I’m just
   missing a bit of code.
 * I also know that I want to EXCLUDE category 3 (news) from my main page, but I’ll
   get to that after I complete the first step.
 * Any suggestions? And seriously, don’t give me a link and say “read this”. On 
   every page, there are 10 more links to read. This stuff is supposed to be easier
   than this.

 * OUCH!!! maybe show a little sympathy? After all, the topic searches in these 
   forums actually suck. I’ve been frustrated the last few weeks.
 * There are many, many, MANY questions that have been posted, and nobody responds.

 * Another option is to edit the publish date, so it goes to the back page.

 * I’m missing categories as well. 24 of them.
 * I wouldn’t mind, but I want to create categories, and it’s saying the same name
   already exists. How can I find and delete these, so I can create them again?
