I wanted to run the wordpress loop on my php page more than once, & I don't know if I'm the only person, but I found the offical multiple look example hard to swallow.
Google found is nima's how to which was useful, but I wanted to take it further; the problem was I wanted a function.
This is what I came up with:
\ \ \
- \ \ \have\_posts()) : \$my\_query-\>the\_post(); ?\> \
- \ \\\\\ \
