   I have a loop that displays the post title and excerpt. If I want to show the last 20 posts, how and where do I add this? I read i should use:
   <?php wp_get_recent_posts( $num ) ?>
   But my loop does not have that variable. My loop looks like this:

   <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>
   
   <div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php sandbox_post_class() ?>">
   
   <h3 class="entry-title" style="margin-top:0px; padding-top:0px">
   
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf( __('Permalink to %s', 'sandbox'), the_title_attribute('echo=0') ) ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title() ?></a></h3>
   
   <?php
   $myExcerpt = get_the_excerpt();
   if ($myExcerpt != '') {
       // Some string manipulation performed
   }
   echo $myExcerpt; // Outputs the processed value to the page
   ?>
   </div>

   Really appreciate any advice!

   Try putting this as the line above your 'while ( have_posts() )' line:

   $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&posts_per_page=20');
