# query_posts in header !!PROBLEM!!

 * I have a bit of a problem… I am trying to place a recent posts list in my header.
   When I do the index page looks great. The archive posts as well as all the pages
   are all wrong. The posts from the <?php query_posts(‘showposts=6’);?> put posts
   into the pages…
 * have a look
    [http://olsonimages.com/archives/44](http://olsonimages.com/archives/44)
   and [http://olsonimages.com/contact-me/](http://olsonimages.com/contact-me/) 
   it goes on…
 * this is the code I am using, I am wonder if there is anything that might prevent
   this from happening other than a redesign…
 * <?php query_posts(‘showposts=6’);?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()):
   the_post();?>
    -  <link to =”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><span class=”date”><?php the_time(‘m.
      j’) ?></span> <?php the_title() ?>
    -  <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    - the about section is also doing the same thing…
       the code looks like…
    - <?php query_posts(‘pagename=about’); >
       <?php if (have_posts()) : > <?php 
      while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); > <;?php endwhile;
      > <?php endif; >
    - please help if you can, I dont know how to remedy this…
    - Thanks
       Karl
