   Hi there,

   I am having some confusion with a query for showing posts.

   Currently I have this: http://paste-it.net/public/lbb7793/

   which shows latest post, then 3 recent and then a list of the rest.

   Now what I want to show 5 latest posts, then 3, then the list but I am getting confused. The code below - I believe - controls the latest post, but what do I need to change to show 5 latest posts?

   ' <?php
   $postCount = 0;
   query_posts( 'showposts=900&post_per_page=-1&cat=' . get_query_var('cat') );
   while (have_posts()) { the_post();
   if( $postcount == 0 ) { ?>

   <?php
   //This grabs the latest excerpt
   if (isset($values[0])) {
   ?>
   '

   Any help greatly appreciated.

   Cheers,
   Karl

   What you have is:

   while (have_posts()) { the_post();
     if( $postcount == 0 ) { ?>
       <!-- code to display the first post -->
     <?php } elseif( $postcount > 0 && $postcount <= 3 ) { ?>
       <!-- code to display posts 2,3, and 4-->
     <?php } else {
       <!-- code for everything else -->
     }
   }

   Keeping the same basic structure that you've already got, what you probably want is:

   while (have_posts()) { the_post();
     if( $postcount <= 4 ) { ?>
       <!-- code to display the first five posts -->
     <?php } elseif( $postcount > 4 && $postcount <= 7 ) { ?>
       <!-- code to display posts 5,6, and 7 -->
     <?php } else {
       <!-- code for everything else -->
     }
   }

   Assuming I haven't screwed up some detail...
