   Hey, I'm working on a new theme, it has two columns.

   In column 1 i want to list 5 even posts, in column two i'd like to have 5 odd posts.

   Does anyone know how I could do this?

   Thanks!

   My best guess would be define even as a multiple of two... Then on the odd post if even = false then show the post.

   thanks for the comment, sadly I have no idea how to put that into code (I can just about code wordpress templates but not php).

   at the moment i'm using this for the first column:

   <?php global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=5'); foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);?>

   I just need to adapt it so it shows even / odd posts.

   how do you define an odd post?

   this might work (untested):
   

   <?php
   global $post; $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10');
   ?>
   <div class="column-odd">
   <?php
   $i=1;
   foreach($myposts as $post) :
   if($i%2 != 0) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   //output odd post in the usual way
   endif;
   $i++;
   endforeach;
   ?>
   </div>
   <div class="column-even">
   <?php
   $i=1;
   foreach($myposts as $post) :
   if($i%2 == 0) :
   setup_postdata($post);
   //output even post in the usual way
   endif;
   $i++;
   endforeach;
   ?>
   </div>

   styles:
   

   .column-odd{ float:left; width: 48%; }
   .column-even { float:left; width: 48%; }
