thanks drmike.

but what i don’t know is how to have the main index point to a category page. i was wondering if there was a simpler way…

I use something like this..

<?php query_posts('cat=1&showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	Your Post Content
	Replace cat=1, where 1 is the category number...
	showposts=1, where 1 is the number of post you want to show.

	<?php endwhile; ?>

ok, that makes sense.

thanx !
