[Tutorial] - How to Keep your WP Blog Homepage Clean!
Im using this method in my blog WRZBlog.net to post XXX Uploads and still have a clean homepage. (ie:without XXX Posts)

These two lines of code basically use the WordPress query_posts() function to exclude posts in a certain category. The first line of code fixes the pagination issue of all posts being displayed on all pages. Again, let’s say that we want to exclude all posts from the category with an ID of 8 from our index page.
Simply place the following code in your index.php file before this line

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>....

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("cat=-8&paged=$paged"); ?>

Issues with this method:
This method will remove posts that are ONLY in the excluded category. If a post is in the excluded category as well as another category they will still show up on the home page.
