# Showing multiple specific posts

 * I’m attempting to show multiple (possibly consecutive, *not* in the same category)
   posts on one page, and had assumed that would be possible with WordPress.
 * Here’s what I want to do: I’d like to be able to show posts starting and stopping
   at an arbritrary number on a blog I’m creating.
 * For example, if there are 50 posts, 12 categories, then I would want to show 
   posts 12 through 35.
 * I thought that was possible using a parameter as part of the URL (for example,
   [http://example.com/?p=12-35](http://example.com/?p=12-35) or [http://example.com/?p=12&p=35](http://example.com/?p=12&p=35)).
   However, I’ve not been able to find a way to make this work.
 * Is there a way to do what I want?
 * If so, could someone point me in the right direction, and/or let me know if I’m
   looking at the wrong feature?
 * Thanks…

 * This is where I need to learn more about PHP. Can you do a greater than or less
   than within an if…else?

   Assuming you can somehow, you could use this tag within that loop to accomplish
   what you want.

 * Looks like Podz answered this on irc://irc.freenode.net/wordpress by suggesting
   to use monthly archives.

 * Yep, Podz answered it (I learned about the IRC channel after posting, sorry).
 * For my purposes, monthly archives would work, but I may work on getting the URL
   based option to work as well.
