If you ever need to exclude a single category from a WordPress page (archives, index, category page, etc) you can easily do so by using a little conditional tag code within the WordPress loop.
The example below will skip over any post that is in the category with the ID of 35:
PHP:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if (in_category('35')) continue; ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>
<?php if (in_category('35')) continue; ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile;endif;?>
This can be helpful if you want to not show a particular category in your blog (if you have a category based site setup) - or if you want to hide some categories from your search results.
