Possibly, this may help someone else??

I created two categories: myCatOne and myCatTwo, these categories were then applied to the relevant posts.

Then I duplicated the template for the blog ‘page-blog_template’ and added the following code.

<!--CUSTOM PAGE HEADER ENDS-->

  <?php  

       $args = array(
	'category'         => 'myCatOne',
	'category_name'    => 'myCatOne',
	'exclude'          => 'myCatTwo',
                     'post_type' => 'post',
                     'posts_per_page' => '');
      $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   ?>

    <div class="lay4">
        <div class="center">

            <div class="lay4_wrap<?php if ( !is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ) { ?> no_sidebar<?php } ?>">
                <div class="lay4_inner">

                      <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
                      <div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> 

                <!--POST THUMBNAIL START-->

In the original template, use the same code, but swap over the ‘myCatOne’ and ‘myCatTwo’ values
