Question

I’m probably missing something obvious here as i’m just learning php, but just wondering why only the first parameter works when I use query_posts

e.g here it uses $paged properly, but doesnt exclude categories..

query_posts('posts_per_page=5&paged=' . $paged, "cat=-16,-15,-14"   ); 

Here it is vice versa,

query_posts( "cat=-16,-15,-14", 'posts_per_page=5&paged=' . $paged   );

Is there are proper way i’m supposed to include these that im missing?
Thanks

I think you want:

query_posts('posts_per_page=5&paged='.$paged.'&cat=-16,-15,-14');

They way you have it you are calling query_posts with two arguments, when that function only takes a single one.
