“CMS” question…

    I am converting my website over to WP and have a couple questions…

    I only have two pages (Contact and Resumé) that will be static. The other three pages need to contain post content (Index, Icons, and Portfolio).

    My question is, is there a way to duplicate my index.php to two other .php files and limit the output to only a certain category… (i.e. – index only displays posts in category ‘main’ and icons only shows posts in category ‘icons’)?

    I read over on another blog that such a thing USED to be doable before 1.5… is it able to be done now?

    I’m pretty sure you can still do this with query_post. Try searching with that keyword and see what you can find.

    I’m assuming you’re referencing this

    <?php query_posts(‘p=-1’);?>

    If this is correct, where do I put it for it to take effect?

    I tried <?php query_posts(‘cat=1’);?> in my index.php but no luck

    I looked into the query_post info, but it seems, no matter where I place that code, it doesn’t seem to want to work.

    The Code I’m using is <?php query_posts(‘cat=1’);?> and I’m trying to use it in my index.php
