I’ve been working on a site for a LA track and field club, powered by WordPress of course.

I’ve created a main page template that will allow content in the right and left columns to be edited within the wordpress GUI. The main column will show posts in normal order, short 1 category. The sidebar will show 1 post at time, like a news article or upcoming event list, from the category missing in the main column.

I got the idea after reading up on advanced use of the ‘Loop’ at the WP Codex. Sure does add quite a bit of flexibility to Wordpress, that’s for sure.

With this modification to the main index page, it is possible to add as many ‘Loops’ to a page as needed.
