   Hi everyone,

   I'm working on a wordpress theme that requires an image slider at the top. As that involves JavaScript I've decided to use DIVS instead.

   I will have the latest post show, and 2 other posts in hidden divs. These divs will show when a user clicks on the arrow etc.

   I've done something like this before but without wordpress.

   Now I'm stuck, as I need 2 divs to be hidden so can't just pull the latest 3 posts out of the query.

   So, is there a way to pull out the second-to-last latest post? And the third?

   Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.

   The latest post I want to go into the main div. The second-to-last latest post I want to go in the first hidden div. And the third-to-last latest post I want to go in the second hidden div.

   If that makes any sense, please help.

   Thanks in advance.

   Could use 3 different queries and loops as exemplified in
   http://www.daobydesign.com/blog/2007/07/modifying-wordpress-front-page/

   Or couldn't you use a counter variable before your loop then an if statement in the loop that was
   

   $count=0
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // this may or may not be your loop
   $count++;
   if ($count == 1 ){
   //set div
   } elseif ($count == 2) {
   //set div
   } elseif ($count == 3) {
   //set div
   } else {
   //set div for everything else
   }
   // display posts stuff
   endwhile;
