 * Alright, I figured out how to retrieve a particular post using the php query_posts
   function. This is what I put right before the loop as suggested by the codex:
 *     ```
       <?php
       query_posts('p=4');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * It works great. However, what I’d like to do now is retrieve a particular post
   _and_ my most recent post. Anyone know how to accomplish this using the query_posts
   function?

 * Probably need two loops to do that. This article uses get_posts (same parameters
   as query_posts) to do that:
