<DIV
style="FONT-STYLE: normal; DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: none">
<DIV dir=ltr>I've read around that using query_posts is bad but I've seen many a
themes using it and get away with it.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My case is I'm trying to put together a template-blog.php for StrapVert and
this is what I've come up with so far:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>add_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');</DIV>
<DIV> global $wp_query;</DIV>
<DIV> query_posts(array(</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN> 'paged'
=> $wp_query->get('paged'),</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class=Apple-tab-span></SPAN>
'post__not_in' => get_option('sticky_posts'),</DIV>
<DIV> ));</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> global $more; $more = 0;</DIV>
<DIV> get_template_part('index-blog');</DIV>
<DIV> $more = 1;</DIV>
<DIV>remove_filter('option_show_on_front', '__return_false');</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> wp_reset_query();</DIV>
<DIV>wp_reset_postdata();</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But before I add these changes to the theme and submit an update I'd like
some feedback on "How Really Bad" is query_posts and can I "get away" with the
above?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
<DIV>Zulf </DIV></DIV>
