   Hey all. I've set up a specific page template for a page of posts. Basically I wanted to create a page where I can put off topic posts. I changed my code to ignore a specific category on the home page but display it on a specific page.

   I've gotten all to work well, except I want to have an into paragraph of simple HTML type that explains what you are looking at. I tried adding text outside of the loop and in other pages, but it won't display on the page.

   Here is the page in question

   And the code:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: kickstand
   */
   ?>
   
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div id="posts">
   
   I WANT MY TYPE TO GO BEFORE THE POSTS
   
   <?php
   if (is_page('158') ) {
   $cat = array(143);
   } else {
   $cat = '';
   }
   
   $showposts = -1; // -1 shows all posts
   $do_not_show_stickies = 1; // 0 to show stickies
   $args=array(
      'category__in' => $cat,
      'showposts' => $showposts,
      'caller_get_posts' => $do_not_show_stickies,
      );
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args); 
   
   ?>
     </div>
     <?php endwhile; ?>
     <?php else : ?>
     <div class="post">
       <ul class="pinfo">
         <li class="lileft"><span> 44 <br />
           <em> day </em></span></li>
         <li class="liright">
           <div>
             <div>
               <h1>Hmm! To bad this is a 404 error</h1>
             </div>
           </div>
         </li>
       </ul>
       <div class="postcontent">
         <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
       </div>
     </div>
     <?php endif; ?>
     <div id="comments">
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
     </div>
   </div>
   <?php include('rsidebar.php'); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

   What happens when you replace:
   I WANT MY TYPE TO GO BEFORE THE POSTS

   with
   

   <?php
   echo '<p>This is my page intro stuff...</p>';
   echo '<p>more page intro stuff...</p>';
   ?>
