Hello All

Worked it out!!!!!

What you do is (if any one else is having the same prob) as describe by Clyde
to make the category and then make a sub category inside that one (or how many you want) with the images you want to display in the body of the main page area in the subcategories.
Then go to admin/configuration/layout settings and turn on the "main page - open with categories" (set to 1) then below that enter the main category number in the "categories - always open to show subcategories" line.

This seems to work fine.

The only problem i can see is the main category still displays in the main navigation bar! Any idea's
