# query_posts question

 * I’ve very recently set up my index page to use two loops. The first uses query_posts
   to display only categories 2, 3 and 4, the second to display only categories 
   1, 5 and 6.
 * This part works fine.
 * What I want to do, though is also set up the query_posts for each to do the following:
 *  – the first loop will show all of the posts made for a single day
 *  – the second loop will show the last five posts made, regardless of the date
   they were posted
 * How can I do this? I’ve tried setting wordpress to “show at most 1 days”, then
   using posts_per_page=5 as a variable in the query_posts for the second loop, 
   but that winds up showing every post made in the last five *days*.
 * Any ideas?

 * Another problem I’ve found is that when I have two loops running on the index
   page, it’s not possible to use posts_nav_link — you can set it up, but accessing
   past pages continues to show the front page data you’ve established in both loops
   with query_posts…
 * … tricky.
