 * Hi, I have a problem here, how can I get an specific single post for a “recent
   news” with offset… I’ve made a mistake here?
 *     ```
       <?php
       // Begin Blog Loop
           $get_news = new WP_Query( 'showposts=2&cat='.get_cat_id( get_option(       'blog_cat' ) ).'&offset=1' );
           while ($get_news->have_posts()) : $get_news->the_post();
       ?>
       ```

 * Offset determines which post you want to start from, 0 being the first one. If
   you want to get a specific single post, you would surely want to specifiy the
   post id?
