   I've grabbed posts using an instance of WP_Query.
   I have the posts in $my_query. I have used them initially to populate a sidebar.

   Now I want to reuse the posts in $my_query. I have rewound it.

   How do I limit the new loop, so that only one post is produced?

   possibly, add break; before the endwhile; of the second loop.

   details depend on your code - you can paste the full code into a http://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here (how to, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code ), for somone to check this.

   declare a variable and limit it.
   $i = 0;
   WP Loop bigins
   if ($i < 1){
   Display the post
   }
   $i++;
   WP Loop ends

   Thanks for the help.

   Hacking away at this has helped me to get a bit more used to wp and php (and the potential frustrations of working with both of them)

   The solution I used was given to me on #wordpress by dc5ala. He suggested this:

   ($myquery->have_posts()) {
   	 $myquery->the_post(); the_title(); } wp_reset_postdata();

   This worked.
