There are several various booleans that you can use for this. $single is just one of them.
$m $monthnum = the month of the post(s) (so you could use !$monthnum)
$cat = categories
So you could use those as well to ensure that it didn’t show up on Monthly archive or Category archive pages. There are many others available as well, have a look through wp-blog-header.php for an idea of others.

Are you familiar enough with SQL to be able to see if the post is still in your database?
Also, the category you assigned it to wouldn’t happen to be a sub category? If it is, you might want to see if what bunnywabbit_ has been working on is relevant to your setup.

Something like this is one easy way of doing it…


<?php if (!$single) { ?>
Stick your intro code here and anything else you don't want on the individual entry pages
<?php } ?>


There is no point in using ob_start(); unless its at the very beginning of your main PHP code and you flush it at the end of the code. All you’re doing is output buffering. Its not a security risk, all it does is delays sending the page until the HTML is fully pieced together.
Check out Output Buffering in the PHP docs for more info.
