Posts in this category don't appear on the front page or in the main RSS feed. You only find them here, in this category's own feed, in search and on author pages.

Every category has a Show on frontpage setting. Turn it off and the category becomes a quiet corner of the site: its posts stay out of the front page and the main RSS feed, but they're still here.

Its posts can still be found:

• on this category's own page, which stays in the menu
• in this category's RSS feed
• in search results
• on the author's page

It's useful for site news, niche topics, or anything you want to publish without filling up the front page. A post can also be in several categories: if any of them is shown on the front page, the post is too.
