   Hey,

   i would like to use wp as a cms for a client. thus i would like to show with other posts some information of pages on the frontpage.

   for that i will need the query for page titles and maybe the content as well so the client would not have to go into the code.

   for posts it is like:

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('cat=17,18,19&showposts=5');
   							  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   							  $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>

   but how to use queries for PAGES?

   found a way. make sure to change the name of the page at "pagename=about"

   <?php $contact_drop = new WP_Query('pagename=about'); while ($contact_drop->have_posts()) : $contact_drop->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>						
   
   								<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   
   									<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   									<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Learn more about <?php the_title(); ?>" class="more-link">Learn more</a></p>
   
   							  <?php endwhile; ?>

   new WP_Query('post_type=page') for something more generic
