 * I’m looking to list my loop in two different styles on my index.php
    one just
   under the other. I found an article on multiple loops, but i’m finding it confusing
   and can’t get it to work.
 * I have my primary loop in an external “the_loop.php” ([seen here](http://kithicor.org/))
   
   I have my secondary loop in an external “the_archive_loop.php” ([seen here](http://kithicor.org/author/Jethal/))
 * So.. I’m looking for..
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php include("the_loop.php"); ?>
       ~line break~
       <?php include("the_archive_loop.php"); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * No specific category, just latest posts, no duplicates
    any easy fixes?

       		while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
       		$do_not_duplicate[] = $post->ID ?>
       			<?php include("the_loop.php"); ?>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       			<!-- Do other stuff... -->
       			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
       		if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) continue; ?>
       		<?php include("the_archive_loop.php"); ?>
       	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       ```
