 * I am trying to access the get_posts array and pull the information I need from
   it. I need to put the thumbnails from the posts i am getting in one section and
   the content in another. What I need to do is also pull the permalink to each 
   post but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that with the get_posts array. 
   Here is the code I have
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
       	$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
       	//print_r($lastposts[0]);
       	$one = $lastposts[0];
       	$two = $lastposts[1];
       	$three = $lastposts[2];
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Then I put the content into divs like this:
 *     ```
       <div id="caption1" class="nivo-html-caption" >
       	<h2><?php print $one->post_title;?></h2>
       	<p><?php print substr($one->post_content,0,300) ;?>...</p>
       </div><!--caption1-->
   
       <div id="caption2" class="nivo-html-caption" >
       	<h2><?php print $two->post_title;?></h2>
       	<p><?php print substr($two->post_content,0,300) ;?>...</p>
       </div><!--caption2-->
       ```
   
 * But $one->post_permalink; isn’t a valid object interface. Any idea how I can 
   get the link the each post in the p tag after the_content? Thanks

 * Thanks, I didn’t think about passing the post id from the get_posts array into
   the get_permalnk function. That should work just fine. Thanks!
