styling wordpress posts on homepage

Ok I’m a newbie to wordpress design and I find the wordpress codex too advanced for beginners like me.

Well my blog home page displays 15 posts and I’ve successfully implemented a featured slider which displays the newest 5 post. Now, I want display the previous (5) post in a jquery carousel but I don’t even know how to go about this. Any help about how to go about this guys? I posted this problem in the wordpress.stackoverflow area but no reply. It’s taken me forever to implement this 🙁

  1. If the plugin is using WP functions, you could just try changing the “offset” parameter. Notice the offset parameter which you can adjust according to your need.

    <ul>
    <?php
    global $post;
    $args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'offset'=> 5, 'category' => 1 );
    $myposts = get_posts( $args );
    foreach( $myposts as $post ) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
