# “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

 * here’s a pretty good writeup written by ifelse on query post

 * 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
