not resolved

Currently, when I use the accordian slide feature, I have to designate which posts will be populated in the accordian area. Is there a way so that new posts automatically start in the very first slide and cascade and continue through the blog? I've made a diagram below:
Currently, the layout page format is (in reverse chronological order):
1-2-3-4-5 (Slider)
1
2
3
4
5-6
7-8
9-10
Is there any way to re-format the page so that it goes:
1-2-3-4-5
6
7
8
9-10
11-12
Thank you!

Slider: Assign for example a category called Slider so that only events/posts are shown in the slider
Set the homepage to not pick up events/posts in the category called Slider by chosing the category called Slider in Exclude Categories settings.
Are you trying to show the posts by date or just show the latest on the left? On one of my sites I sort them by date instead of last one on left.
Hey,
You can use "offset" in the WP_Query for regular content to hide the first 5 posts. If you don't add them to the slider they won't show up.
Open up index.php, and find this code:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged");
Change it to:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged&offset=5");

Update:
The code works perfect on the front main page...however it seemed to have affected the pagination on subsequent pages. Please have a look:
If you scroll to the pagination on the bottom, the site seems to only display the first 10 postings regardless of what page you are on. I have about 7 pages, and every page shows only the first 10 postings.
Hey,
Change this:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged&offset=5");
to this:
if (!$is_paged) {
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged&offset=5");
} else {
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$negative_cats."&paged=$paged");
}This will now only offset the 5 posts on the first page and not page 2 / page 3 etc.
