 * Hi!
    I’m tring to displa the 5 previous posts on my single page but can’t get
   it to work. I don’t just want the 5 previous titles to be displayed but the entire
   posts.
 * So, is there a way of looping 5 post posted just before the one beeing viewed?
 * Someting like this maybe…
 * <?php
    query_posts(‘p < “$current post id” ‘&showpost=5’); ?>
