 * Hi,
 * On my frontpage i got lots of posts. But i need an area with text and pictures
   underneath all the posts. I need this area to be writeable.
    It means that every
   time i update my page/post, the change will be seen on my frontpage.
 * I think i need to make an include-tag like
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer();?
   > and so on…
 * But in the examples above i am including php-files. I need some code that make
   it possible to include a page or post instead.
 * Is that possible?
 * Maybe I can use:
    <?php get_posts(‘arguments’); ?> ??
 * In other words I want to include a post/page in my single.php file.
 * Best regards, Jowiii

 * The include works with this
    <?php query_posts(‘page_id=8’); ?>
 * in the single.php file.
 * BUT.. my frontpage includes the content of page8 infinitely many times. The website
   doesnt stop loading, because the frontpage just loads the included file again
   and again.
 * How can i tell WP only to load/include page8 one time?

 * Try:
 * `<?php if( is_front_page() && !is_paged() query_posts('page_id=8');?>`

 * My bad – there was a missing ‘)’.
 * `<?php if( is_front_page() && !is_paged() ) query_posts('page_id=8');?>`
