# A looping question — query posts

 * 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>

 * Thanks for the reply. It’d be just my luck to go ‘live’ with this thing and have
   it fall apart.
