 * Hi!
    I’ve been struggling with this one issue where I want to extend the loop
   on my single.php showing all following posts after the selected one.
 * My first thought was to just increase the post number on single.php showing 9999
   posts, but that obviously did not work since it showed them all,but started on
   the latest one – where I want to show the selected post followed by the rest.
 * I’m using the good ‘ol `<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>` to initiate
   the loop without any other settings added.
 * I was thinking about adding a second loop, but not entirely sure how to do that
   since I want it to be the posts following the “current” one..
 * Any help will be madly appreciated.
 * Thanks
    /Niclas
