   Hello all.
   I am designing a new and unique template ,horizontal, mainly for portfolios.
   in my template I use table tags (the only way i could though of )
   My problem is as followed :
   I need the FIRST table cullom to get only 1 specific post (about page) where all the others to get all the posts (normal loop)
   Normally the template works great, and fils the table cells exactly with the info i need, but when I try to fill the first collum with the "about" page, the loop stops working ,showing only the "about" entry twice.

   to put the "about" page on the first column i have used this inside a tr tag:

   <?php query_posts('pagename=about'); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   after which I have tried to put the other classic loop
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   .........

   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <p><?php _e('Sorry, there aren\'t any posts that match what you requested.'); ?></p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   and so on, to fill the other cells.

   Is there another way to call a specific page to be used outside the loop ?

   ok..
   I have solved it myself ..
   Just had to add anther query in front of the second loop

   <?php
   query_posts('showposts=999');
   ?>

   well.. at least this post might help someone else :-)

   Thanks krembo99!! Im working on a theme too (my first theme, for my own site) but started learning CSS only two weeks ago and have little knowledge about PHP. I also use two loops to display featured posts and normal posts, and this does help me out!! Thank you very much! & drop by my site at http://theakiba.com if you like. The theme is still on process, probably done before X'max.
