Is it possible to show at the bottom of a static page only the posts of the blog that are in a specific category?

I mean: can I show on this page of my blog
http://santamariadellegrazie.wordpress.com/oratorio/
only the posts I have put in the category “oratorio”?

hope this is clear!
Thankyou

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It’s easy. You just have to put the link to the local category tag. You don’t actually need a page for that.

Take a look at this post of mine:

The Real Secret: the greatest motivational video of all time

On the words Brian Atene I’ve linked to the GLOBAL category page for that term.

But I could have linked to the local one
http://raincoaster.com/category/brian-atene/

If you want to LIST them, you’ll have to type them all out. I’d just put the link and the category page will list them FOR you.

Thakyou for your quick answer!
Do you think there is a way to make the posts just show, instead of just the link on which the user has to click?

Yes. Instead of making a page, use the Categories widget and when people click on a category they’re taken to the list of posts in that category. Like I said, if you want to make a page with an intro plus show the posts, you’ll have to copy and paste them all in one by one.

You’re welcome and good luck. Perhaps in future they’ll let us write intros to category pages, but right now they don’t. You might want to suggest it via the Support button.
