 * I’m trying to use query_posts om my front page to skip the most recent post (
   which appears in a feature box) but also include pagination.
 * This is the original code, which breaks pagination:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $limit = 4;
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts('showposts=' . $limit . '&paged=' . $paged .'&offset=1&cat=');
       $wp_query->is_archive = true; $wp_query->is_home = false;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I’ve replaced that with this (found at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/57912?replies=9](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/57912?replies=9))
   which fixes the pagination issue.
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_home()) {
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts("paged=$paged");
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * But now I’d like to add back in the offset=1 parameter
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_home()) {
       $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
       query_posts("offset=1&paged=$paged");
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * and pagination breaks again. Is there another way to add in the offset?
