   What I'm trying:
   Creating different pages on the normal page template. I'm trying to edit that page template, so that it reads the page ID and activates a different loop.

   Example: I create a page called 'Sales' with the page ID of 59. This activates a loop which reads the category 'Sales'. See below for the exact code:
   

   <?php the_post() ?>
   <?php query_posts('category_name=Sales&posts_per_page=5'); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_title() ?>
   <?php the_content() ?>
     <?php endwhile;?>

   Then I create a different page called, for example, 'Store' which activates a different loop with posts from the catogery 'Store'.

   So my question is, how can I write some sort of If Else statement that reads the page ID and activates the loop that belongs to that page?

   Thanks in advance!

   <?php
   if( is_page('59') ) $args = 'category_name=Sales&posts_per_page=5');
   elseif( is_page('73) ) $args = 'category_name=Foo&posts_per_page=5');
   query_posts($args);?>
