A separate category for articles that cannot be viewed from the front page(Wordpress)

    How would I add an articles category separate from the rest of the other categories on its own page and be able to post new articles in this articles page? It will be separate from the front on the front because they have no relation. This is my goal: An "articles" page to appear on my site navigation, and this articles page displays all posts in the category "Articles". This category "Articles" is separate from all the other categories. And its posts can only be viewed on the "Articles" page.

    The concept is the same as the following page:

    If you click on the "Deals" section, it is totally separate from the posts on the front page.

    Oy, no ideas guys? Someone suggested Category Templates, but I'm not so sure how that works.

    I sort of got this to work. I had to place a file called category-37.php in my theme folder.

    Is there a plugin for Wordpress that will not allow a category to show up on the sidebar and not allow the entries to show up on the front page? Also, how would I add a link to the navigation to a category?

    my deals section is a seperate install of wordpress but you can add in static pages. Check out the wordpress 2.0 docs in the wiki.
