   Hi,
   I know its a very small problem but is bugging me for quite a long. I am using cellar heat wordpress theme. First of all this theme doesn't come with an 'Older Entries' link at the home page. Anyways, I have managed to put that and when I click on it, the URL also gets changed but older posts don't show up.
   The code for the home page is

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php query_posts("showposts=1"); ?>
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     		<div class="main-post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       	<h2><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
           <span class="meta"><?php the_time('F') ?> <?php the_time('jS') ?> <?php the_time('Y') ?> in <?php the_category(', ') ?></span>
           <?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
           <span class="btn-first-readon"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read On</a></span>
           <span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>
           <br clear="all" />
           </div>
           <?php endwhile; ?>
       </div>
       <div id="recent-posts">
   
       <!-- post begin -->
   <?php query_posts("showposts=8&offset=1"); ?>
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       	<div class="home-post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
           	<div class="upper">
               <div class="fade"></div>
               <h3><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
               <span class="meta"><?php the_time('F') ?> <?php the_time('jS') ?> <?php the_time('Y') ?></span>
               <?php the_excerpt('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
               </div>
               <span class="btn-readon"><a>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">Read On</a></span>
               <span class="lower-meta"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>
           </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <br clear="all" />
   
   <?php else: ?>
   
    <!-- Error message when no post published -->
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   <div id="page-nav"><span class="older"><?php next_posts_link('Older Entries') ?></span><span class="newer"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries') ?></span></div>
       <!-- post end -->

   The <div> tag just before the last line brings the 'Older Entries' link. If you need code of any other page, I can post but kindly make me understand in detail. I shall be extremely thankful.

   the 'offset' parameter does not work with pagination;

   to exclude the first post, try the methods described in:

   Hey Dear,
   Thanks for the quick response but I guess the link is about featured post. Check out my website http://totalbarmy.org
   So as you can see, there is no concept of featured post here.

   Ok I shamelessly admit this. I am not good at understanding this PHP code, so please give me a direct solution. Just tell me what all you need, I'll paste that code. But please if you directly tell me the coding lines and where to paste them.

   Thanks :)
