#code woes

[freefallgames]

Well, I just did a whole lot of messing around on the blog theme, which means I've totally worked on visual novel creation today and I am absolutely not procrastinating!

I deserve a reward for how good I'm being, surely. Time for a delicious treat!

Sometime I realize I treat a section of the WordPress dashboard like a fridge. If I keep looking in the fridge eventually the food I want will magically appear. If I keep looking at this theme section eventually the functionality I desperately want right now will appear right, right?

I can’t figure out how to get around this thing. Blargh. One section of three latest posts. Then below that 6 latest posts, but the first three posts of the second section are the same as the featured three so basically duplicate posts.

I can’t figure out how to offset the main section to not show the three latest posts in its area (since the latest are already above anyway).

Offset exists as a part of the WP loop but when I tried to edit the loop the whole layout got changed... for some... reason...

Then trying through the functions file but it offset from the three posts area and the second area so I just got the same duplication end result anyway.

You’d think they’d each have a separate loop. Or hm...  home page template using block carousel and block posts. But the only loop I can find is in the home template, so maybe I guess they are both using the same loop that’s then edited by the options in the theme settings.

But no damn offset option.

This also leads me to not know if it’s doable without major hassle or a total reworking of one part of the theme or if I’m just not knowledgeable enough and missing something. :/

Blargh.

I'm pretty sure my brain is not working. I clicked install to get tumblr savior, got a code and I have no idea where to put it. Anyone care to help?
