 * Hello,
 * I’m using a new WP_Query object to create multiple loops in my theme. I see on
   the codex that it says to use wp_reset_postdata when creating a new query which
   resets the $post object to the current post. This is only really necessary if
   I want to use the default the_post(); and such correct? I could just as well 
   not include that and just create other WP_Query objects without affecting the
   default $post object. Am I right?
