I'm wondering if there is a way to create a front page for a category like you can for the home page. So instead of last X posts, you can assign a page with whatever you like to be the front page of that category like the page is a home page for the site.
For example, let's say on one category I want it to be a page of 20 links to different pages in the category, not a running list with excerpts from the last X posts. In the alternative, I would like to have a sticky post there, perhaps just one post that has that list of 20 links to those posts (like an index.)
Has anyone done anything like this? It's helpful when yuo're doing a set number of items in certain categories and excellent for SEO purposes.
