   hi,
   I'm trying to fix the main page of pophangover.com --- I would like all posts from the PICS category to be displayed first, followed by the posts in other categories.

   It is working fine on the main page, but the PREVIOUS/NEXT pages all display the same thing and are infinitely looping. I can't figure out what i"m doing wrong. Here is my code. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

   I had no idea there were new rules about code.

   Here's the pastebin

   Am I not closing a loop somewhere?

   Could that be what's causing the pagination to just display the index over and over?

   try to put a wp_reset_query(); before the query of the second loop:

   <?php wp_reset_query();
         $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
         query_posts("cat=-495&paged=$page&posts_per_page=6"); ?>

   Thank you for the tip --- that did work.

   Is there a way to have the first loop (recent photos) show up ONLY on the index page? It's showing up on all of the pages.

   Can anyone point me in the right direction? I ended the first loop with the reset query, but it is still showing up on page 2, 3, etc.

   Is this a pagination issue, or an issue with index.php or with the archive.php?

   I figured this out. In case anyone needs it in the future:

   create a separate .php file with the loop you don't want to appear on the secondary pages, and then call to it like this:

   < ?php if(is_home() && !is_paged()): ?>
   < ?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/XXXXXXXXXXX.php'); ?>
   < ?php endif;?>
