 * Hi,
 * I want to have 3 loops on my homepage.
 * The first loop should pull 1 post from 1 specific category.
 * The second loop should show 3 posts from specific categories (either by including
   multiple categories or excluding multiple categories).
 * The third loop should offset the 3 posts in the second loop and again show posts
   from specific categories (either by including multiple categories or excluding
   multiple categories).
 * The problem is that query_posts doesn’t have an offset option and there is no
   easy way to exclude/include specific multiple categories using get_posts..atleast
   not any that I seem to be aware off or seems to work.
 * Any pointers?
 * Thanks!
