 * Hi esmi/Mel,
 * Thank you for developing the Zenlite theme. I looked through hundreds of wordpress
   themes, and Zenlite stood out head and shoulders above the rest.
 * I am a new wordpress user, and I have no experience in coding. However I am willing
   to learn, and I am hoping you will point me in the right direction.
 * My website is: rae.co.sz
 * I have Zenlite 4.10, and I am using the Basic Child childtheme.
 * “Home” is my main blog page. But in addition to this, I write a regular newspaper
   column. I want a page where I can republish these columns on the website, on 
   their own page, which has its own archive. The columns, which I will upload weekly,
   must not appear on the home blog.
 * How do I go about this? I understand that you will probably give me an answer
   above my current level of skill, but I will appreciate what you have to say because
   at least I’ll know what I’m aiming towards being able to do.
 * Thank you.

 * If you are using a category like “News” for your newspaper column posts, you 
   can simply use the default News category listing for these posts. It would probably
   work best if you also made use of a [custom menu](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide)
   so that you can add the category page as a menu item to your site’s navigation
   menu.

 * That is going to require some coding work. Assuming that your News category has
   the id 8, try adding:
 *     ```
       function exclude_category( $query ) {
           if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
               $query->set( 'cat', '-8' );
           }
       }
       add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );
       ```
   
 * to your child theme’s functions.php file.

 * Fantastic, thank you very much for the clear instruction, it was easy to do and
   now everything is working as I want it to.
