 * Hi everyone!
    After reading lot of posts and solutions, I haven’t found the one
   which fits well to my “trouble”. Here is: I want to have the three lasts post
   of a category (Titular) in my home, but this way: <div id=”num1″> LAST POST (
   i.e. post number 50) </div>
 * <div id=”num2″>
    PENULTIMATE POST (i.e. post number 49) PENULTIMATE’S PREVIOUS
   POST (i.e. post number 48) </div>
 * I’ve been reading a lot in this posts but I don’t have what I’m doing wrong:
   
   For the first div: <div id=”num1″> <?php $do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID; ?> 
   <h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”> <?php the_title(); ?></h2> <p>“>Ver artículo
   </p> </div>
 * And for the second one:
    <div id=”num2″> <?php query_posts(array (‘posts_per_page’
   => 3, ‘post__not_in’ => $do_not_duplicate) ); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()):
   the_post();?> <h3 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”> <?php the_title(); ?></h3> <?
   php the_excerpt(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> </div>
 * And I have a first area with the last post’s title and “Ver artículo”, and a 
   second area with the three last post. This last issue is wrong, becasue I want
   the two previous posts to last one.
 * Please help me! I’m getting mad 🙁
 * Thanks in advance
