Can I set a category not to show in the recent posts?

[alma townsend]

I am adding a category to my site that I want all to have access to, but I don't want the new posts to the category to appear in the recent posts or random images.... is this possible and how?

Thank you!

This is not possible without code modification. If they have permission to view the images they appear in the blocks.

what code could I modify?

Chuck, would this work for excluding categories? If so, a bit of guidance please....

which would modify the query to grab images from only those categories.
