Setting up multiple 'blogs' on one site

   Hi there, I have a case where our client wishes for a main news page 'Recent news' (post thumbnails appearing also the front page) and another page with 'Recent kitchen news'.

   I thought to arrange this using a category for the 'kitchen news' and include a navigation link to a page filtered to that category. Would be fine, but I need to exclude that category from the main blog in inFocus, but sadly this excludes ALL posts with that category, including the posts I would like to use on my second kitchen blog.

   Does anyone know how I could solve this dilemma ?
   Or how else I may be able set this up?

   Many thanks,
   Jim

   OK. I realised I was filtering my recent posts (all) on the home page, where as I need to restrict them there to just a category as well.

   Fix is here fro inFocus:
