   Hi, I am customizing a theme and have created a division on homepage which will hold some static content. The content at present time is written in php file inside that division. But I want that content to be editable form wp-dashboard either through a post or a custom field.
   Any idea how to achieve this.

   Thank you

   Regards
   Preity

   Perhaps you need to review creating a static front page?

   Hi,
   I tried something like this
   

   <?php
   $my_id = 33;
   $post_id_1 = get_post($my_id);
   $content = $post_id_1->post_content;
   echo $content;
   ?>

   It works perfectly fine but now as it is a post it appears with other posts also.
   I want to exclude it from appearing anywhere else.
   I know using wp_query but dont know the exact code where to write in index.php.

   Any help?

   Two simple options I can think of...

   You can register a new sidebar (widget area) and place it there, then just use a text widget in that area to fill in what you want
   http://vudu.me/sidebar has an overview of that concept

   Or, you can run a loop there, and have it query one specific page/post which you continually edit with whatever you want in that area

   EDIT -- You guys were quicker.. carry on!
