 * Thanks. This worked for me.
 * If I were to make a suggestion, the menu for excluding categories is a little
   confusing. For example, why am I setting up the “Inclusion/Exclusion” then picking“
   Exclude from…? Why couldn’t we just use the second “Exclude from…” area?
 * Also, is there a way to hide the category name itself from the category list 
   that users see?
 * Anyway, thanks again. The main thing I needed was for the post not to show up
   on the main page, and it achieved that purpose.

 * If you are asking about what you see when visiting the blog and clicking on a
   category link, that would be something you control with your [Category Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates).

 * Oh you are probably talking about the list of categories a user sees when writing
   a post?
 * If so, then you might use these two plugins to restrict categories users can 
   assign when writing posts, but the restriction does not carry forward to view
   the posts on the blog.
