   Hi, I would like to create two columns.

   In the left column have ALL the posts from a category listed.

   In the right hand column have 5 posts from the same category.

   When I click "older" or "newer" i would like the list to remain the same in the left column, and the 5 newer or older posts to be listed in the right column.

   I have the following code, but when I click older or newer the 5 posts remain the same. :(

   <div id="left">
   <?php
   query_posts('showposts=25');
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   "><?php the_title();?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </div>

   <div id="right">
   <?php
   query_posts('showposts=5');
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   "><?php the_title();?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   </div>

   Hi

   You only want one regular WP query per page. Read this article on how to create a custom query loop
   http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/04/13/define-your-own-wordpress-loop-using-wp_query/

   you also need to apply this logic to the custom query loop (you won't use query_posts in the custom loop, but a similar syntax, as per the article)
   

   <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
         query_posts("cat=1&paged=$paged"); ?>
