Well I know there’s examples in The_Loop but can’t get to Codex right now. Also have heard that Coffee2Code has a good plugin for this:

There’s also this “How do I hide a category from the front page index.php?” in FAQ_Layout_and_Design
I suppose the example that you’re telling that’s in the LOOP section is:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/The_Loop#Exclude_Posts_From_Some_Category
well I have tried it with no success in my wp2.0.1 installation.
Well, the technique described in The:Loop#Exclude_Posts_ … that, you point to in your last post, works well for me using WP 2.01.
You may also want to make your own home.php, which loads first if present and maybe just present you blog ( about ) and other nice stuff and maybe a category listing with a good description for each category.
thank you petit for your reply, can post your LOOP code or at least just the part where you exclude the category.

In 2.0.1 I used the exact code from The_Loop as suggested above and it worked–meaning it excluded any posts in Category 3 from displaying.
Here’s my index.php file I used under themes/default.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- The following tests if the current post is in category 3. -->
<!-- If it is not, the code within The Loop is executed as normal. -->
<!-- If it is, nothing is done until the next post is processed. -->
<?php if ( !(in_category('3')) ) { ?>
<div class="post">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?>
</div> <!-- closes the first div box -->
<?php } ?> <!-- Close the if statement. -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
If you are after:
category 1
*post
*post
category 2
*post
*post etc..
Try this thread. You can see an example of it here (select ‘ajaxed’ from the theme list).
