• This is my first time at WordPress and I’m using it to build a website (not a blog)…please don’t flame me for improper usage : )

    I’m using the query_post(category) to display my dynamic content. I’ve got two seperate div’s, each with a query for a separate category. I’ve got it done and it’s working, but I read that “Use of query_posts on Loops other than the main one can result in your main Loop becoming incorrect and possibly displaying things that you were not expecting.” This would be bad.

    Am I doing this?

    <div id=”title”>Otsego Chamber of Commerce</div>

    <div id=”content”>
    <div id=”news”>
    <?php query_posts(‘category_name=News’);?>
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
    <?php the_content();?>
    <?php endwhile; else:?>
    <p> nothing doing</p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
    </div>

    <div id=”chamberInfo”>
    <?php query_posts(‘category_name=Chamber Info’);?>
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
    <?php the_content();?>
    <?php endwhile; else:?>
    <p> nothing doing</p>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
    </div>
    </div>
