 * I have the following script on my page where I get the latest six posts from 
   a category:
 * <?php query_posts(‘category_name=NAME&showposts=6’); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()):
   the_post(); ?> <?php the_title(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?>
 * This works perfect, but now I want to have a second loop from the same category
   that only shows the six posts after the first six posts that this code generates(
   so post 7 till post 12 from the category)

 * First, I don’t know how to do that using the wordpress library, but this will
   do it.
 *     ```
       <?php $count = 0; ?>
       <?php query_posts('category_name=NAME&showposts=12'); ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php $count++;?>
       <?php if(count>6){?>
       <?php the_title(); } ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
