 * Hi 🙂
 * If I have to sections on same page, which are getting posts form network, one
   big box with only 1 absolutely latest post from network,
    is it then possible
   to exclude this absolutely latest post in the next section, that have 6 latest
   posts in smaller design ?
 * So i dont show the same post double…
 * So the second box shows 2-7 latest posts ?
    🙂
 * Thanks for any help

 * There’s two ways to go about it. The first is as follows:
 * There are two attributes for the offset.
 * number_latest_x_posts_excluded
 * which includes offsetting the latest posts from any category. So if you have `
   number_latest_x_posts_excluded='3'` it will not show the three most recent posts.
 * The second argument is `exclude_latest_x_posts_from_category` so you may specify
   a category/taxonomy. So if you wanted to skip the three most recent posts from
   taxonomy “books” you would do so as follows:
    `[netsposts taxonomy='books' exclude_latest_x_posts_from_category
   ='books' number_latest_x_posts_excluded='3']`
 * The second way is as follows:
    You can also use the following two arguments. 
   1) taxonomy_offset_names= and 2) taxonomy_offsets=. So for example if you wanted
   to offset three different categories it would look like so: `[netsposts taxonomy_offset_names
   ='books,flowers,sports' taxonomy_offsets='5,4,10']` then books would be offset
   by 5, flowers 4, and sports 10.
 * Hence the first shortcode will include the argument `list='1'` to only show the
   most recent post and the second argument would include `number_latest_x_posts_excluded
   ='1'` so it will exclude the most recent post and start from the 2nd most recent
   post.
