 * OK, the title may be misleading, but what I want to do is list the posts right
   along the same line as the pages as you would get from wp_list_pages or the like.
 * I’d like to perform this in a plugin format, basically doing an ‘add_filter’ 
   to the wp_list_pages.
 * Why? Simple, I”m running mini-sites with no more than a combined 8-10 posts and
   pages and posts have a lot of nice options that pages don’t.
 * help! I’ve been running around the php bush for days.

 * Thanks for that PBP,
 * But when I have the ‘showposts=10’ in the query_posts, it will also show the 
   post titles right in the content area as well. But if I remove the ‘showposts’
   section, it scrambles the menu again.
 * here’s a snippit of code from the page:
 *     ```
       <div id="centeredmenu">
   
                 <!-- You will remove or add page numbers below -->
   
       <li class="pagenav"><ul>
         <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
       /*  <?php query_posts('showposts=10');
       	  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <li>
                   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                </li>
       <?php endwhile; ?>*/
       </ul></li>
   
             </div>
   
           </div>  <!-- end of 'top_nav' -->     
   
         </div> 
   
         <!-- end #header -->
   
         <div id="content">
   
         <div id="sidebar">
   
           <ul>

           </ul>
   
           <div id="linkAds">
   
       	   <?php if (function_exists(adsense_deluxe_ads)) adsense_deluxe_ads('link_ads'); ?>
   
           </div>
   
         </div>  <!-- end #sidebar -->
   
         <div id="blogcontent">

           <div id="post">

       				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   
       				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

       		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

 * Oh kay!
 * I figured it out!
 * For someone else who looks this up in the future (probably me in 6 months, lol),
   here’s the solution:
 * Have to make the query temporary or every other query will use the results messing
   up the page:
 *     ```
       <li class="pagenav"><ul>
         <?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
   
       <?php $temporary = $wp_query; // set the defined new query ?>
         <?php query_posts('showposts=10');
       	  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <li>
                   <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                </li>
       <?php endwhile; $wp_query = $temporary; //reset it back to normal  ?>
       </ul></li>
       ```
   
 * I found a good explanation here: [http://brassblogs.com/cms-platforms/wordpress/creating-wordpress-themes-query_posts](http://brassblogs.com/cms-platforms/wordpress/creating-wordpress-themes-query_posts)
 * Thanks!
