 * Hi everyone, im new to wordpress and ive managed to set up my own theme, and 
   have everything running fine until now.
 * I have my main page divided in two. On the upper part I want to display a single-
   post from one category, and on the lower part of my page, I want to display x
   number of posts from other category, but with a different style. All on the same
   index page. Is this possible? If it where possible, could anyone help me with
   some little detail?
 * I know it can be done with conditioning, but I dont know where to start!
 * I’ve been reading around the forum and most of the time, someone tosses a link
   to the Template Category url, and I quite dont get it there.
 * Thanks!

 * Ok, ive managed to give different styles to posts from different categories, 
   looking on to this:

 * You have to put that code into the loop, and then you just need to edit the css
   to match the ids 😀
 * Now im only missing the first part of my question!

 * Perhaps Pages (not posts) or use ugly permalinks for the first one. More ugly
   loop stuff. Are you sure you really want to do that? It kind of makes my skin
   crawl to special case things. Not that I haven’t but it bites back on every upgrade.
