# WordPress Query HELPP!!

 * I never understood MYSQL further than copy-paste from existing basic cripts… 
   and I don’t understand WP queries!!
 * There are SO many functions that do the same out there, and I’ve tried them all,
   no success 🙁 and now I realize nothing works because the queries weren’t designed
   for that 🙁 and the solution is probably to build a custom one, and although 
   they seem a 8-line script, I don’t understand them!
 * Would you write a few lines (I saw them being a few lines only!) for a custom
   query that “switches” blog?, something like:
    “**Select the only page from blog1
   that matches this page_name**” (or title)
 * I’d use it then inside the loop, since It’s mostly content, but I’d probably 
   recycle it to get masthead content from a unique page (in the other blog) which
   resides in a page so it can be edited.
 * In other words, that would solve me the whole “alias” or “mirror” pages I was
   looking for.
 * Help!

 * Ok, I found this.
 * $mainsite_pageid = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->post WHERE post_name
   = ‘current-page-slug’ “);
 * and then using something like get_blog_post()
 * Anytime you give me feedback about this, you are saving me days of re-coding 
   searching for a better way 🙂
 * Thoughts?
