    Hi people
    Basically my problem lies here.
    query_posts(cat=3,4&showposts=8&offset=1

    how can I change this code so that the offset query only applies to category 4 and not category 3. That is all posts in category 3 is shown but the first post from category 4 is not shown (offset)
    please help

    You'd have to do two queries, one for cat 3 and one for cat 4.

    Hi Michael
    thing is I am displaying both of the categories images in the same place. How can i do what you say then?

    You'd need two 'query' loops, one to display category 3 posts, then one to display category 4 post.

    Or use something like to merge your two query results into one:
