   Hi!

   On my index page, I am trying to set up 2 Main columns, each reflecting a different Category. (The 2 main columns are flanked by 2 sidebars)

   Each column should start with:

   1) the most recent Post, in extract form; then followed by
   2) a list of the 6 previous posts (listed as titles only), and ending with
   3) a list of recent comments, pertaining to that Category.

   I am getting the feeling I must be insane, especially with my limited PHP knowledge or experience.

   I have investigated query_post, but was not successful.

   Could someone give me some guidance how to tackle this challenge?

   My test home page is: http://www.letterlink.de/lsb

   Thanks
   Peter

   You should try it until you get successful.
   Also, you may want to take a look at The_Loop - especially using multiple loops. Using the same loop in both columsn, obviously will display the same content.

   Also, search diligently for 2 column display, there should be examples here in the forums.

   Seem to have solved this:

   1) The easiest help came from the following tutorial:
   Blog Posts in different columns

   2) Found a Plugin conflict... Adhesive v3.2 caused the multiple loops to malfunction, so it had to be deactivated.

   Thanks for the suggestion, moshu (which is how I found the tutorial).
