 * On my index page I show posts from the last 2 days. For the continuation I created
   a category page, which should start where the index ended. So I count the number
   of displayed posts on the indexpage into a global variable.
    How can I pass that
   global variable to the category page to use it as offset parameter?

    Thanks. It is probably the only way to do it, but I had hoped there would
   be a way to avoid doing it via the URL.
