Ok... not sure how possible this is... but is is possible to have for example.... In Navigation, under my MAIN BLOG, a parent page? But on THAT specific page only have posts of a specific category? For example have a page only show posts categorized under "cooking" ? Does that make sense? Thank you in advance!

yes, you can use the "Blog Posts" page template. Create a page and choose the template like this:

add a category custom field to limit it to category like this (use name or id):

if you want to have the page in a dropdown menu under your blog you must set the blog page as parent. More info here.

OMG...Thank you so much! Yay!
BTW, congratulations on creating such an awesome theme ALL AROUND. I can honestly say this is the BEST theme I've EVER used on Wordpress! EVER! And I've been using Wordpress well over 5 years. =)

Thank you.

What am I doing wrong? I added "category" in the custom field and "music" in the value field but it doesn't filter anything. I just shows all my post on the new page.

Thank you.

You can use the category ID instead as value to see if that helps. if you are using it with wordpress 3.0 that is probably the cause. I will fix this template to work with WP3.

Haven't updated to 3.0 yet. It works the original way you described. I had to publish the page first before the filter would work. "Preview Changes" won't show the desired result.

But thanks! Great template.

Ok one more. Is it possible to exclude a post from the main page?

Thanks.

you can use this plugin to exclude posts from the blog (it must then be added to a category that is excluded from the blog).

Hello,
I do use ACE plugin, but it seems not working anymore. Can you suggest an alternative way to exclude some categories (or posts) from the main page of the blog, or a different plugin maybe?
On my website I have a static frontpage and a blog page for posts: I am considering "home" section in ACE option, to be the blog page. Is that right?

Thank you very much,
Claudiadp

too bad when plugins stop working. here's an alternative plugin. This was the plugin I recomended before, but there was so many problems with it, but this is a new beta version, so maybe it's working better now.

Yes, it's working properly! And it's easier to use than ACE. I hope it keeps working... thank you so much
