# Displaying posts -limit

 * Using 2.6.1 and a custom theme.
    On my page I display the 14 latest posts with
   thumbnails and so on. (1-14).
 * I would like to display the following 10 posts (older posts – 15-25) just as 
   title links on a widget at the bottom of the page. I know I must use this code
   to display posts:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       	 <?php
       	 global $post;
       	 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10');
       	 foreach($myposts as $post) :
       	 ?>
       	    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
       	 <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
       ```
   
 * and I also know that the $offset variable must be used to limit the posts, – 
   but how? I have read in the codex but I just dont got any smarter… With the code
   above I just re-display 10 of the last 14 posts already showed. Could anyone 
   please explain me?

   $offset

 * Well, I tried to include the following code on my widget:
 *     ```
       <ul>
                    <?php
                    global $post;
                    $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&offset=14');
                    foreach($myposts as $post) :
                    ?>
                       <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
                    <?php endforeach; ?>
        </ul>
       ```
   
 * But it was just – blank. Nothing there. Any advice?

 * Could this be because I have placed the code in a text-widget?

 * Didn’t I just give you the link to a PHP widget?
    (I hate when people talk back
   before trying out what I just suggested)
