Display posts from specific category

First: welcome to WP!
I know the biggest challenge when switching from another script is to stop thinking in the “old way”. Usually the internal logic of two applications – even if on the surface they aim the same goal, like blogging – could be very different.
It depends where do you want to display the posts of one category. By deafult, clicking on a category name in the sidebar – all the posts of that category will be displayed. If you want to avhieve this on the main page of the blog, you’ll have to get familar with the query_posts tag and apply it in your theme’s template file(s).

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. The problem arose because of the PLACEMENT of the tag required for this. Here is the tag (which I have set to display just posts from category 10 on my index page:

<?php if ( in_category(’10’) ): ?>

And here is where it should be placed in relation to The Loop:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<!– content …………………………… –>
<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php if ( in_category(’10’) ): ?>

<hr class=”low” />

<div class=”entry”>

<h2>” title=”Permalink”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php ($post->post_excerpt != “”)? the_excerpt() : the_content(); ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<h2>Not Found</h2>
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<!– /content –>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I have this functioning as a page template. But I’d like the information that I post on the page to be shown..IE. the page name and information, and THEN all of the posts in the category. Is there a way to do this?
