   Hello All!
   I want to display links to posts on top of a page (this is an easy part), and then I want that when one of those links is clicked that post is displayed underneath the links. When the page first loads I want the 1st post in the list of links to be displayed underneath the links.
   This is what I currently have...
   for the top links:
   

   <ul>
   <?php
        global $post;
        $posts = get_posts('numberposts=4&category=3');
        foreach($posts as $post) :
        setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>

   and for the post:

   <?php
       $posts = get_posts("cat=3&showposts=1");
       if ($posts) {
                    foreach ($posts as $post):
                    setup_postdata($post); ?>
     <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    <?php endforeach; } ?>

   What I get is when I click on the links always the latest post gets displayed, not the one that the_permalink() is for.
   What do I do wrong? Please help.
