I am using Content ABOVE the LOOP area to show some posts from certain categories.
I am using the following code to show 5 posts from category 3:
<?php query_posts('cat=3&showposts=5'); ?>
<ul>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile;?>
</ul>
It works perfectly but then the same output is shown IN THE LOOP as well.
I want IN THE LOOP to display all the rest of the categories (everything except category with id 3).
How do I do this ?
