# Content Types / The Loop

 * I’ve figured out how to create custom content types but how can I get them to
   display in the loop? I’d like to customize the loop to work the same way as Tumblr.
   A photo type shows a photo, a link just posts a list – custom code in the loop
   for each type.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * They don’t. Custom post types are separate from the loop, IIRC.

 * Right, but I’d like the display of each type of content displayed differently
   on the home page….

 * Just add something like this within The Loop.
 * `<?php query_posts(array('post_type' => array('post', 'content_type_1','content_type_2')));?
   >`
 * And change your the content_type_$n stuff to your content type names. You can
   use multiple loops on the same page to display different things.
