 * Hello all.
    I am designing a new and unique template ,horizontal, mainly for 
   portfolios. in my template I use table tags (the only way i could though of )
   My problem is as followed : I need the FIRST table cullom to get only 1 specific
   post (about page) where all the others to get all the posts (normal loop) Normally
   the template works great, and fils the table cells exactly with the info i need,
   but when I try to fill the first collum with the “about” page, the loop stops
   working ,showing only the “about” entry twice.
 * to put the “about” page on the first column i have used this inside a tr tag:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('pagename=about'); ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * after which I have tried to put the other classic loop
    <?php if (have_posts()):
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 * ………
 * <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    <p><?php _e(‘Sorry, there aren\’t any posts that match
   what you requested.’); ?></p> <?php endif; ?>
 * and so on, to fill the other cells.
 * Is there another way to call a specific page to be used outside the loop ?

 * Thanks krembo99!! Im working on a theme too (my first theme, for my own site)
   but started learning CSS only two weeks ago and have little knowledge about PHP.
   I also use two loops to display featured posts and normal posts, and this does
   help me out!! Thank you very much! & drop by my site at [http://theakiba.com](http://theakiba.com)
   if you like. The theme is still on process, probably done before X’max.
