 * I have multiple loops on my home page:
    [http://www.critiquethis.us](http://www.critiquethis.us)
 * The problem is that I want to have the newest articles displayed in the left 
   column and then highlight articles from the various sections in the right columns.
 * Is there a way to exclude a post from the right column if it is featured in the
   left column?

 * Okay, I know a little bit more about what I want to do. I am trying to get the
   different loops to speak to each other so that the featured loop will display
   the three newest articles from the archive. Then the right loops pull the newest
   article from each sub-category, but if the newest article in the sub-category
   is featured in the main feature that article is skipped and the second post is
   shown. Any help would be appreciated.
 * I have included a link to the home.php file:

 * I rewrote my homepage from scratch using an array technique suggested here:
 * [http://www.goboxy.com/wordpress/avoid-duplicate-posts-in-multiple-loops/](http://www.goboxy.com/wordpress/avoid-duplicate-posts-in-multiple-loops/)
 * The only problem is that if the main loop does not contain a category in it that
   category loop will display two articles instead of one. If anyone is interested
   I upload the updated home.zip file.
 * I am going to attempt the technique here:

 * Perhaps this will yield better results.

 * Anyone know how to incorporate pagination using the filter technique?

 * Figured it out!
 * Weblogtools is an amazing resource, code here:
