[wp-hackers] Newbie here - Stopping posts appearing on the frontpage

[Philip Taron]

An alternative, provided you only want one category
of blog posts to appear on the front page, is to use http.conf
or a .htaccess file to set the DirectoryIndex for the main page
of the blog to index.php?cat=<some number>.  For my purposes,
using WP as a CMS, I only want news to appear on the front page;
that, for me, is category #5, so DirectoryIndex index.php?cat=5 ...

Hi all,

A newcomer here - I'm experienced with PHP and mySQL and am using WordPrss
(v.nice software, BTW.  Having looked at other blogging packages this is the
best I've encountered so far) to produce a 'Home Page' for myself.

Now....what I wish to do is to make it possible for a posting to NOT appear
on the home page.  If you take a look at
www.joepritchard.curious-hosting.co.uk you'll see some biographical details
posted there.  I want to have these postings (and other future ones) ONLY
available from the relevant category menu option on the RHS.

I can see how I might do it by modifying the code, but was wondering whether
there's anything built in.

Any help (even if it's RTFM - providing you point me at the FM to read) will
be welcome!

Regards,

Joe
