Can I exclude categories from default page

    Is there a way to exclude a category from your default view? E.g., let’s say I have three categories: news, sports, and beer, and I only want news and sports to appear on my default page. (People would have to follow a link to see the beer posts.)
    Is there any way to do that?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Options > Other Options > what_to_show. Set it to “posts paged”.
    But I don’t have “other options” as a category in my options menu. I have …

    The “Miscellaneous” entry has something called ” Use legacy my-hacks.php file support ” so I suspect that instruction is for an earlier version of WordPress. Anyway, even when I check the “use legacy my-hacks.php” thing it’s not working, and when I use the other instructions on that page, which involve editing index.php, they aren’t working either.
