   Hi,

   I´m building my blog and I have on mind a particular structure that i have never seen before. I want to have in my homepage a fixed part, like an "about" and then, bellow, the posts (or news, like called)

   What i could do, is to display this about page at the top of my blog. For doing this I´ve wrote a page (id #4) and i add this linke to the index.php

   <?php if (is_home()) { query_posts("page_id=4"); } ?>

   before the <?php if (have_posts() ...

   the problem is that i want the posts below this fixed part, but i can´t make it.

   does anybody know how to do this ?

   if you want to see what i`ve done till now> www.wikichaves.com/blog (in spanish)or here a google traslated

   you can see the posts titles only in the right bar (i want them below also)

   thanks
   Francisco

   You need to make a new loop after your first loop. I suppose you should add the line:

   wp_reset_query();

   After the first loop.

   If you just want post titles, then use wp_get_archives() instead of the second loop.

   what about using the Sticky Plugin to have one post always stay at the top ?

   If wp_reset_query() doesn't work, then just make a new query.

   I run multiple loops in many of my themes. Creating a new loop definitely works.

   So, you would have:

   query_posts()
   Loop 1
   query_posts()
   Loop 2

   Using a plugin for this is pretty much pointless unless you really don't want to touch code.
