   Hi,
   I want to create a loop on the index showing 10 of the most popular posts, then 10 of the most recently added posts. Here's what I've got so far:

   <?php /* If there are no posts to display, such as an empty archive page  */ ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   <?php /* Display navigation to next/previous pages when applicable  */ ?>
   <?php if (  $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
   	<div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
           <div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older') ); ?></div>
           <div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>') ); ?></div>
       </div><!-- #nav-below -->
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   	<div id="sort"><h2>Popular</h2>
       <?php $postno = 1; ?>
   	  <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('akpc_most_popular');
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
     $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
   	<div class="box">
   
       	<?php
   		if ( has_post_thumbnail() ){ ?>
   			<?php $thumbID = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID); ?>
               <a href="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($thumbID); ?>" rel="gallery" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                   <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
                   <span class="view-large"></span>
               </a>
           <?php } ?>
   
           <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
           <?php the_content('<p>Continue Reading &rarr;</p>'); ?>
           <?php edit_post_link('Edit this post'); ?>
       </div>
       <?php if ($postno == 1) { ?><div class="box"><div align="center">
   <script type="text/javascript"><!--
   google_ad_client = "ca-pub-0263400590288735";
   /* Image Ads - Medium rectangle */
   google_ad_slot = "5580641477";
   google_ad_width = 300;
   google_ad_height = 250;
   //-->
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript"
   src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
   </script>
   </div></div><div class="box"><?php } ?>
   <?php if ($postno == 1) { ?><div align="center">
   <script type="text/javascript"><!--
   google_ad_client = "ca-pub-0263400590288735";
   /* Image Ads - Medium rectangle */
   google_ad_slot = "5580641477";
   google_ad_width = 300;
   google_ad_height = 250;
   //-->
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript"

   </script>
   </div></div><?php } ?>
   <?php $postno++; ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?></div>
   <div id="sort">
   <h2>Recent</h2>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
     if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; ?>
     <div class="box">
   
       	<?php
   		if ( has_post_thumbnail() ){ ?>
   			<?php $thumbID = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID); ?>
               <a href="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($thumbID); ?>" rel="gallery" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
                   <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
                   <span class="view-large"></span>
               </a>
           <?php } ?>
   
           <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
           <?php the_content('<p>Continue Reading &rarr;</p>'); ?>
           <?php edit_post_link('Edit this post'); ?>
       </div>
   
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       </div><!-- #sort -->

   Though I'm no php coder so I could see there being a lot of mistakes in that ;). Any help appreciated.
