   Hello,

   I am having a similar issue to some other people: I have two loops on my Index page, and when I use PREVIOUS & NEXT buttons, the 2nd page displays posts of first page. I've tried adding various code snippets mentioned here on the forums, but there is no progress. Please take a look & let me know where I am going wrong with the code... Thank you very much!

   Site: shalasrabbithole.com/blog

   Loop 1 beginning (large main post):

   <?php
   				$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // pagination
   					query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&showposts=1&posts_per_page=11&paged=' .$paged );
   					if (have_posts()) :
   						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
   				?>

   Loop 2 beginning (horizontal double posts):

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // pagination
   					query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&showposts=10&offset=1&posts_per_page=11&paged=' .$paged);
   					if (have_posts()) : $counter = 0;
   						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
   
   						if( $counter % 2 == 0 )
   							$end = "";
   						else
   							$end = "last";
   				?>

   And this is the PREVIOUS | NEXT code:

   <div class="left">
   <?php
   previous_posts_link( __( '<img src="http://www.shalasrabbithole.com/blog/images/old_leaf.jpg" width="132" height="26" align="left" border="0"/>' ) ); ?>
   
   <?php
   next_posts_link( __( '<img src="http://www.shalasrabbithole.com/blog/images/new_leaf.jpg" width="133" height="26" align="right" border="0"/>' ) ); ?>

   Thank you for your time!!!

   New code (I modified it by trial and error!)

   Loop1:
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // pagination
   				query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&showposts=1&posts_per_page=11&paged=' .$paged );
   					if (have_posts()) :
   						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
   				?>

   Loop2:
   

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; // pagination
   					query_posts( 'cat=-9,-10&posts_per_page=10&paged=' .$paged);
   					if (have_posts()) : $counter = 0;
   						while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
   
   						if( $counter % 2 == 0 )
   							$end = "";
   						else
   							$end = "last";
   				?>

   Previous/Next:
   

   <?php
   previous_posts_link( __( '<img src="http://www.shalasrabbithole.com/blog/images/old_leaf.jpg" width="132" height="26" align="left" border="0"/>' ) ); ?>
   
   <?php
   next_posts_link( __( '<img src="http://www.shalasrabbithole.com/blog/images/new_leaf.jpg" width="133" height="26" align="right" border="0"/>' ) ); ?>

   Lesson: Watch out for the offset values - it screwed me up.
