 * Hello, I’m having a hard time trying to figure out a loop for index.php.
 * I have a 3 column format for the 3 most recent posts, and the 6 recent posts 
   following it underneath.
 * Dummy site until I get it to run on WP: [http://socalnpo.org](http://socalnpo.org)
   
   Wordpress: [http://socalnpo.org/wp](http://socalnpo.org/wp)
 * Is there a way to isolate the first 9 individual post so that I can force the
   format onto each individual <div>? Or do you suggest formatting it in
    -  and then trying to loop it?
    - Code:

    - Any help is greatly appreciated.
    - Thank you!
