Woo – worked it out!! Should be able to move forward with the other stuff now :0)

For those that are interested, I found the answer in the Maxpower post

And my result ended up looking like this (for the second bit – his code took me a few seconds to remember to add curly brackets etc):

<?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) {
continue;
} else { ?>
<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h4>
<?php the_content_limit(220, "Read more..."); ?></p>
<?php } endwhile;?>

I hope this helps someone :0)
