Select which categories show up on homepage

Exactly what you need to do depends a lot on your theme. If you are using a free theme, post a link to your site here, and you may get more help.

In general, you need to add the argument ‘cat=55,4,73,122’ to your query for the homepage to select certain categories. An alternative would be to add a special category to be excluded and add ‘cat=-143’, unless your theme has an option to exlcude some categories.
