 * On my front page, I have the most recent post look like a typical blog post. 
   The next step is to have the next three recent posts follow in three columns:
 * —-NEWEST—-
    ————– ————–
 * -1- -2- -3-
    — — — — — — — — —
 * —-FOOTER—-
 * I’ve successfully set up two loops so that I can style the newest post differently
   from whatever posts follow, but does anybody know how to have, essentially, **
   four loops** so that I can break those three posts up into columns?
 * This page has been of some help: [http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop#Multiple_Loops)
   But it doesn’t take it to the extent I need help with.

 * this loop is the same, just rewinded and used again (here are no different loops)
   and does what you need on the index page of [seosumo.com](http://www.seosumo.com)
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('showposts=1');
       while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
   
       <div class="entry" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
       <div class="postheader">
       <span class="postinfo postdate"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span>
       <span class="socialb">
   
       </span>
       	<h1 class="typeface-js"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
       	<span class="postinfo"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — Posted by <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></span>
       </div>
       	<?php $more = 1; the_content(); ?>
   
       <?php link_pages('<p class="pagenavigator"> ', '
       ', 'next', ' next page', 'previous page '); ?>
   
        	<div class="postfooter postinfo"><?php the_tags(__('Tags: '), ', ', ' — '); ?></div>
           <!-- end Entry --></div>
   
             <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       ... boring html css code and then ...
   
       <?php rewind_posts(); query_posts('offset=1'); while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
   
         <div class="excerpt" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
         <div class="excerptcont">
       <div class="postheader">
       <span class="postinfo"><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span>
       	<h1 class="typeface-js"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1></div>
   
       	<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
           <!-- end #ecxerptcont --></div>
           <!-- end #ecxerpt --></div>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
