   Hi, I want to show a random post in my header, and a list my recent posts + my last post on my index page. The problem is, they don't work well together and when I click on a link, I get the wrong post...

   Here is my code for the random post:

   <?php
   query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => 1));
   if (have_posts()) :
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endwhile;
   endif; ?>

   Here is my code for the (3) recent posts:

   <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3&offset=1'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   And here my loop on the main page:

   <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   I tried everything I could, checked everything but I guess I must have missed something because it doesn't work. Thank you very much for your help, I'm stucked!

   try to add
   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
   before the codes for the second and third loop.
