 * Hi all, for some reason, I want to use query_posts to get a posts list for specified
   posts, they filed under different categories, different tags and authors, I tried`
   p=` parameter like `p=1,12,34,90,120` but it doesn’t work, anybody know how to
   do it?

 * yes, I checked this document and my code is like:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('p=1670,147,584,1516,1590,433,363,46');
       if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * but it doesn’t work. I said they filed under different categories, different 
   tags and authors, I cannot use parameter such as `cat=` to get the exact posts
   I want. so any good idea?
