 * Hi
 * I’m trying to change my theme so the post showing will be difrent depending on
   what catogory post1 is.
 * What I want is that it shows post 1-10 if it’s post 1 is not catogory=1. If post
   1 is catogory=1 then show post 2-11
 * in pesudo code
 *     ```
       if post(1)!=cat(1)
            Then query_posts(1-10)
       else if post(1)=cat(1)
            Then query_posts(2-11)
       endif
       "The Loop"
       ```

 * Thanks that is good for the catogory part.
    But I cant figure out how to show
   only post 2-11. showing 1-10 is esay only to add query_posts(posts_per_page=10)
   But how to make it show 2-11?
