this is how I'm displaying it:
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=-3');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2 class="posttitle">
" rel="bookmark" title="<?php _e('Permalink to'); ?> <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
</h2>
<p class="postmeta">
<span class="post-date"><?php the_time('j M, Y') ?></span>
<span class="post-comment"><?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comment'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments'), 'commentslink', __('Comments are off')); ?></span>
<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit'), ' · ', ''); ?>
</p>
<div class="postentry">
<?php if (is_search()) { ?>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php the_content(__('Read the rest of this entry »')); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>

</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="pages">
<div class="pages-border"></div>
