I have come to the conclusion that I am rubbish at hacking WordPress. In the last 24 hours I have tried to:

  1. Prevent certain categories (the hidden ones and asides) being counted on the main page. Result: Did exactly what I wanted, but total wrecked the by-page navigation. Failure.
  2. Sort out the displaying of certain post categories in left sidebar. Result: Did exactly what I wanted, but for some reason the ‘next page’ links disappeared. Oddly, if I put it in the right sidebar it works. Posts hidden from the front page are still included in the post count. Failure.
  3. Reorder layout so that the page looked the same, but content would be read first by screen readers. Result: Looked OK but centre column ran over the footer. Failure Success.

Maybe I should quit now before I get even further behind?
