<div>because he’s probably making a ‘page’ that is off the /index/home/ it’s a
template... i.e. not the landing, lotsa people do this ;/ splash page in
the front, link in menu to the actual blog loop</div>

<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-wrap;"></span> 'paged' =>
$wp_query->get('paged'),</div>
<div><span style="WHITE-SPACE:pre-wrap;"></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>
