Choose range of blog posts

Spoiler

I am creating an automated email for blog updates in which I want the newest blog post to stand out in the email. But to also bring under attention some other blog posts, I like to select the second and third latest blog post, and print them in the email as well, but with different styling, like this:

My idea was to make two loops:
- 1 with the newest blog post:
{% set posts = blog_recent_posts(‘default’, 1) %}
{% for post in posts%}
- another one with the second and third blog post:
{% set posts = blog_recent_posts(‘default’, ???) %}
{% for post in posts%}
But to be able to do this, I need to know how I can select the 2nd and 3rd post…
Anyone?

Hello there!

Hope I’m not too late in answering this, but, you may use an index while looping through each blog post. Something like this:

{% set posts = blog_recent_posts('default', 5) %}
{% for post in posts%}
 {% if loop.index == 2 or loop.index == 3 %}
 <!-- some HTML elements -->
 {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Let me know if this answers your question.

Cheers,

Louie
