 * <div id=”content_news”>
    <?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()) { $page = (get_query_var(‘
   paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1; query_posts(‘showposts=1&paged=’.$page.’&
   posts_per_page=5′); } if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post();?
   > <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”> <h2 class=”post_title”><?php
   the_title(); ?>.</h2> <div class=”post_content”> <h3 class=”post_meta”><?php 
   the_date(); ?> by <?php the_author(); ?></h3> <?php the_content(); ?> </div> 
   </div>
 *  <?php endwhile; endif;?>
 *  <div id=”news_list”>
    <?php $page = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘
   paged’) : 1; query_posts(“cat=5&showposts=5&paged=$page”); ?>
 *  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
    <h2 class=”post_title”> “><?php 
   the_title(); ?> </h2> <?php endwhile; ?> <div class=”navigation”> <?php posts_nav_link(‘::‘,’
   previous’,’next’); ?> </div> </div> </div> </div>
 * this is the code so far.
    It shows the last post (title+content) on top when 
   you first open the page, and it lists 5 titles from a specific category. and “
   next” or “previous” at the bottom if there are more than 5 posts in the category.
   Now, the problem is that, let’s say there are ten posts, 1-10, one being the 
   most recent post. When you first go to the page, it show the most recent post(
   title+content), post 1 plus just the titles of posts 1-5. If you click on “next”
   to see the next 5 posts, I want to show the last post (title+content) from the
   remaining five posts, post 6 plus the titles of posts 6-10. What it does now 
   when I click on next is it shows post 1, or the last post viewed on top, plus
   the titles of posts 6-10. And when I click on let’s say post 7, the lists of 
   titles goes back to 1-5.
 * How can I make it so the list of posts changes only
    when I click on next or 
   previous.????
