 * I have 2 wordpress websites running off the same database, but each with a different
   prefix. I need to be able to query from site1.com while using site2.com
 * Something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       //Switch to 'pre1_'
   
       // The Query
       query_posts( $args );
   
       // The Loop
       while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       	echo '<li>';
       	the_title();
       	echo '</li>';
       endwhile;
   
       // Reset Query
       wp_reset_query();
   
       //Switch back to 'pre_2'
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
