 * I’m incrementing my posts and would like to display the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th…
   post –basically every third post starting with 1.
 * My loop example checks for and displays even numbered posts:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (have_posts()) :
       while(have_posts()) :
       $i++;
       if(($i % 2) == 0) : $wp_query->next_post();
       else : the_post();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * What should this look like:
    `if(($i % 2) == 0)`
 * Thank you for the help.
