   Hi There,

   So in a custom sidebar im listing posts from a category called inspiration but i want to exclude the two most recent posts that get posted in that category ?

   here is my code so far

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=inspiration&showposts=8');
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
     $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>
   
      <?php $permalink = get_permalink(); ?>
   
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
     <?php endwhile; ?>
       <!-- Do other stuff... -->
     <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
     if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>
      <!-- Do stuff... -->
     <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   any help would be greatly appreciated

   Solved

   changing my first line to

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=inspiration&showposts=8&offset=2');

   seemed to solve this :)
