# Equilibrium theme – why ‘featured’ repeated in ‘recent’?

 * I’ve read through these forums many times, but still can’t figure it out.
 * Am trying to make sure my three ‘feature posts’ aren’t repeated as the first 
   3 in the ‘recent posts’. Have mangled them trying to adjust myself, but I end
   with non chronological nonsense. See it at [saintcleveland.com](http://saintcleveland.com).
 * I know I need to change the values under the “edit below 1,2,3”, but that’s where
   I run into trouble.
 * here’s my index.php:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <div id="featured">
       <h2>Featured</h2>
       	 <!-- Edit Below -->
       	<?php query_posts('cat=ID&showposts=2'); ?>
           <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
           <div class="front-post">
           <div class="featured-post">
               <div class="featured-title">
                   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
       </a></h2>
               </div>
               <div class="featured-image">
                   <?php image_attachment('image', 303, 231); ?>
               </div>
           </div> <!-- END Featured-post -->
           <div class="postMeta-featured"><span class="date"><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></span><span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></span></div> <div class="clear"></div>
