 * Try creating a static front page:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
 * or exclude a category on the home page with a query on the loop:

 * Okay I see this:
 * Placing this code in index.php file will cause the home page to display posts
   from all categories except category ID 3.
 * <?php
    if ( is_home() ) { query_posts( ‘cat=-3’ ); } ?> Great but where to see
   what is my cat id 🙂 I have name and slug of the category that I want to exclude.
 * I try to use my slug to export it but with echo and print_r I can export only
   array and huge amount of data for this :
    uery_posts( ‘cat=-3’ );
 * Ah I find answer :
    The easyest way to do this is to open from wp admin category
   for edit and to see url bar: mysite/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy
   =category&tag_ID=15&post_type=post Here the id is 15 🙂 If somebody know how 
   I can find it with php I will be glad to try and test this. Just to export array
   with categories or to exclude it by slug.
 * Thank You in advance.
