    I have two sidebars running custom loops on my index page. http://nerdynothings.com

    Is there a way for the sidebars not to repeat posts that are already listed within the main loop?

    <?php
$postslist = get_posts('category=8&numberposts=1&order=DESC&orderby=date&offset=2');

foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);?>

***This is where the first post in the category goes, excerpt, title and image.

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php
$postslist = get_posts('category=8&numberposts=4&order=DESC&orderby=date&offset=3');

foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>

***This is where the titles for 4 more posts go.

<?php endforeach; ?>

    I really hope that makes sense and you can help me.

    as luckily your main loop runs first, i could imagine collecting all post ids of the main loop into a gloabl array; and use this arry in the ‘post__not_in’ parameter of your sidebar queries.

    here is a bit of information:
    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops_in_Action
    esp. under here ‘Note for Multiple Posts in the First Category ‘

    and this snippet:

    <?php query_posts(array('post__not_in'=>$do_not_duplicate));
 if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
 update_post_caches($posts); ?>
