Spending a very pleasant afternoon building a new look and feel for the other place, and getting somewhere, slowly. First off, I managed to place one single post from one specific category in a sidebar. That’s good. But then, of course, I wanted to exclude that specific category from the main page. Not so easy. There are ways to do it within The Almighty WordPress Loop, but I tried a couple ond they just weren’t working for me and I couldn’t see why. Well, someone must have done a plug-in for that sort of thing, so I went looking.
Kim Woodbridge seems to have been down the exact same route as me a little while ago, and she found a plug-in, so who am I to argue?1 Anyway, I followed the link she thoughtfully gave to a plugin called Ultimate Category Excluder and found myself trapped in an anti-spam hell2.
Stuff that for a game of soldiers.
Instead I found a different plug-in called Advanced Category Excluder and it is the bee’s knees. ‘Nuff said.

Ahhh … finally found it. This one looks like it has even more functionality than the one I’ve been using. And, everyone can actually access it.
@Kim Woodbridge – Glad to be of service. And I strongly believe that what goes around comes around, as we used to say.
