 * Hi, so I got code that displays all post in current category right here:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <?php foreach((get_the_category($post->ID)) as $category) { ?>
   
       <?php $catVal = $category->cat_ID; }
          $IDOutsideLoop = $post->ID;
          global $post;
       $myposts = get_posts('category='.$catVal.'&numberposts=999&order=ASC');
          foreach ($myposts as $post) { ?>
            <li<?php if($IDOutsideLoop == $post->ID) { echo " class=\"current\""; } ?>>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       <?php }; ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * All I need is to echo some html code only after 3 item from the loop. I`m not
   a php guy, so please If You be so kind and give me ready and workind code I will
   be delighted. Thank You.
 * Rafał

          $i=0;
          global $post;

 * And I got another problem with the same code and I can`t figure it out.
 * I need to change this code to show only 3 first items from the loop. Then after
   those 3 items I need something like “read more” link and after clicking that 
   I want to get rest of the loop.
 * Of course even wihtout clicking “read more” all items from the loop suppose to
   be visible in source code for bots to indexing.
 * If You know how to help me, do not hesistate 🙂
    Thanks btw. I`m in love with
