 * hey there,..
 * i used a code on the index.php template (using a different theme) that will hide
   posts from specific categories from showing
 *     ```
       <?php
          if (is_home()) {
             query_posts("cat=-141,-140,-3");
          }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * the code works..cause the posts from that categories don`t show..but now i seem
   to have another problem
    The previous Entries & Next Entries keep showing me 
   the same index page.. if i remove the code from the index template the links 
   work fine
 * how to make it so i can keep hiding the posts and the links to work
 * thanks

       <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
             query_posts("cat=-141,-140,-3&paged=$paged"); ?>
       ```
