Wordpress programmers - is this possible?

Is it possible to modify wordpress, so you can decide if a post should be displayed on the frontpage, or only in the specific category?

Because some of the posts I make on the blog, I only want to show up in the category. Right now I edit the timestamp instead, but I would prefer the other way.

Yeah, it's possible.

exclude the specific cat from the index

That is not what I want

Without looking at Wordpress...

Couldn't you just create a separate "frontpage" cat, and only shows posts in that on the front page?

[KimJI]

Yeah, it's possible.

If you can do it, what price are we talking about?

I want a little checkbox where i write the blogpost, where I can "uncheck" it if I dont want it to be displayed on the front-page

Call it "featured posts", and it even makes sense as a cat.

I don't know if there's a plugin that does this yet, but this guy did something similar when he modified Wordpress to run a magazine site. The article is a bit long, but he has the theme with the base coding available here. I played around with it for a little bit a few months back, but never really had a need for it personally. Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it might give you a base to adapt it to your specific needs.

Nice one. That may come in handy anyway
