Hi Mimi, the function that I described works as well. All you have to do is to make sure that you place it on your index.php.

Hi
I’d just like to point out that there’s a problem with the function you provided for method 2. The correct function should be:
query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-3"); } ?>
Cheers

Sometimes simply excluding a whole category is too broad, and other times the query_posts() function doesn’t provide you with the hook you need. In these cases, you can run the original query, note any modifications you need to make, and then create new, modified query and display the results from that one instead. For instance, if you need to exclude posts based on category and, say, the beginning of their title.

I wrote instructions with sample code on my own blog about how to do this.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for, because the recommended technique of calling in_category() threw off the counting, as you point out. Thanks very much!

I like Method 2 but I can’t get it to work right… I am using WP 2.3.2 and every method I’ve tried so far (except method 1) reorders my posts display my very first post at the beginning of my blog and the newest one somewhere in the back…

I’ve tried finding answers on the WP board but that’s just too unorganized, imo.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
