   I'm trying to display multiple page excerpts in buckets on the homepage. So far I have this code:

   <?php $page_query = new WP_Query('post_type=page&amp;post_parent=5&amp;order=ASC'); ?>
   <?php while ($page_query->have_posts()) : $page_query->the_post(); ?>
     <div class="section">
     <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <p class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">Read More</a>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   How can I add multiple ID's of my choice? Something like this:

   <?php $page_query = new WP_Query('post_type=page&amp;post_parent=5,6,7,8,9,10&amp;order=ASC'); ?>

   I have been trying to figure this out for days! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

   There's isn't a 'multiple' post_parent argument, but might look at:
   

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'post_type'=>'page',
     'post__in' => array(2,109,165)
      );
   $page_query = new WP_Query($args); ?>
   ?>

   Or use wpdb and build your own results.

   I think you want to do something like http://bloggercamp.com/blogging-tips/blogging-tips-wordpress-tips/remove-several-categories-from-the-loop-in-wordpress/ except you want to query for the specific categories, and display them. But that code snippet shows how to setup a query straight to the database.

   This works great. Thank you. On last question: Is it possible to list the pages in order of the array?

   'post__in' => array(5,18,85,268,120,49), = bucket 5, bucket 18, bucket 85...

   Look at the orderby choices.

   Great! Thanks for all the help.

   final code:

   <?php
     $args=array(
     'orderby' =>'parent',
     'order' =>'asc',
     'post_type' =>'page',
     'post__in' => array(85,18,5,118,120,268),
      );
      $page_query = new WP_Query($args); ?>
   
   <?php while ($page_query->have_posts()) : $page_query->the_post(); ?>
      <div class="section">
   	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h2>
   	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
           <p class="readmore"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">Read More</a></p>
   	<span class="perm"><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>">Permalink</a></span>
       </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
