Hello!

Is there a way to put on the domain page (www.mydomain.com) just the posts you want, not all of them?

The posts I've created are put on a category, but they all appear on my domain page. I want a way to exclude some of this posts from main page (www.mydomain.com).

    You can create a category called "homepage" and hide it from the categories list..

    And then you can modify your index.php file to display posts from that particular category only using query posts..

      You are saying that wordpress doesn't have an option that will exclude unwanted posts from main page and I have to modify the code?

      I'm not going to modify the code because the last time I did that I had to reinstall wordpress (all my work was gone).

        Well ..some themes do allow you to do that, but very few..

        If you cannot do it, then PM me I will do it for you at a cheap cost.

          I found the solution for my problem:

          1.Create a page that you later want to make it your main page;
          2.Dashboard>Settings>Reading>Select Static page and on front page box chose the page created later;
          or
          3.Choose how many posts to display on front page.

            That will do nothing...
