Calling Particular Posts

    I know that this is probably something simple but after ages of looking I still am at a loss.

    I have designed a site layout and I now want to push this into a WP Theme. My problem is that I want to call and display certain posts by their ID.

    Basically I dont think (if i can someone tell me how) that I can style my page how I want using the standard loop. As I have split my page into many div tags to create a sort of grid layout.

    What I want to achieve is something like(only more complex):

    <div id=rhs>
    <div id=”post-<?php post_id ?>”>
    <?php call_post(1) ?>
    </div> <!– close post div –>

    <div id=”post-<?php post_id ?>”>
    <?php call_post(2) ?>
    </div> <!– close post div –>
    </div><! close rhs div –>

    <div id=rhs>
    <div id=”post-<?php post_id ?>”>
    <?php call_post(3) ?>
    </div> <!– close post div –>

    <div id=”post-<?php post_id ?>”>
    <?php call_post(4) ?>
    </div> <!– close post div –>
    </div><! close rhs div –>

    I realise that my syntax is incorrect (someone feel free to correct this)

    This is a basic overview of what I want to achieve– IS THIS POSSIBLE?

    Thanks for your reply, That plug-in looks perfect.

    For everyone elses benefit I have found another solution within the WP Docs (complete luck hehe)..

    Location: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

    Solution:

    <?php
// retrieve one post with an ID of 5
query_posts('p=5');
?>

    Which would be used as below:

    <?php
// retrieve one post with an ID of 5
query_posts('p=5');

global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0; 

// the Loop
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  // the content of the post
  the_content('Read the full post »');
endwhile;
?>

    Thanks for the reply James, I was starting to wonder about the formums as things seem to be a bit slow for any previous questions! maybe everyone is on holiday?

    Anyway, thanks.
