 * I’d use a custom query to retrieve some specific article in the loop.
 * The custom query is like this
 *     ```
       <?php $posts = $wpdb->get_results
       foreach ($posts as $post) :
       setup_postdata($post);
       ```
   
 * the loop is the usual
 * `<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
