Welcome to the Forum Locc

Can you please explain a bit more on what you wish to achieve.

I would suggest, perhaps, that under your category "Articles", you use the "latest News" plugin. This will pull the last 10 (changeable) articles from your website.
then, I would create new categories, and have "Articles" as their Parent.

So, You would have as follows:
Parent Category: Articles
-> Subcategory: Building Trends
-> Subcategory: Building News
-> Subcategory: Design News

When writing a news article, select whichever subcategory you wish to contain the news.

Then, when someone is reading a news article on your articles page, once clicked, they get taken to that new item in that category. I would suggest also to use the "Breadcrumbs" plugin, so users can see the relationship of directory structure.

Is this what you mean?

Oh, & BTW, please leave the link to Subdreamer as a live link, not just text.
Also, your landscaping looks fabulous. the Image gallery in Subdreamer will work a charm to show yoiur stuff =)

For some reason, this has been a very hard concept to explain with SD... You nailed it 72. Best description yet.
