Forever: Make specific posts not visible in home page?

    I've read other threads about issues similar as this, but I haven't found the answer I'm looking for.

    My blog is both in English and Spanish. I want to have the English version of the posts in the home page (with the slider, etc), but have the Spanish posts in a separate category. The problem is that, when I post the ones in Spanish they, too, appear on the front page. Obviously, it looks silly to have repeated posts.

    I could also have them click a 'Click here for Spanish' link in each post but, again, the Spanish version would show up on the front page, too. Any ideas?

    I do want to keep the slider there, so making a static page doesn't seem like an option. Thanks very much!

    The blog I need help with is eleanoraretif.wordpress.com.

    There's no way to do that using a single blog: you need two separate blogs.

    Regardless of the language, is there anyway to have a single post not appear in the front page, though?

    If there was such a way I wouldn't have given the previous reply.

    Alright. I don't understand why people here seem to think they can give such pompous and stingy replies, but thank you for your time. :)

    Whoops, sorry 'think they must give*'

    I don't see why you consider my reply "pompous and stingy". In essence you asked the same question again. The problem has nothing to do with the language, it has to do precisely with the fact that you cannot exclude a post from showing on the main posts page. And I gave you the correct solution from the start: you need two blogs, and you need to link from the one to the other.

    And I'm very thankful for your reply, but I do feel like there are nicer ways to reply to people. I completely understand that people here are volunteers, but sometimes you guys respond in a mean way. I did read your reply as 'mean', but maybe that wasn't you intention :)

    I also know/understand that the problem isn't regarding the language. I was just wondering if it was possible to do, such as with other themes, where you can set a 'keyword' in the posts, to have them appear in the front page. Now I know that's not possible in this one.

    Again, thank you for your time.

    You're welcome.
    No, that wasn't my intention, and I'm sorry if you read it that way: I'm blunt, not mean!

    Can't say that doesn't happen a lot to me! :) Thanks again!
