[wp-hackers] Can't use the same conditional tag twice?

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

are you using query_posts()?

query_posts overrides the current query, Its not the best way to go about  
what most people use it for.

try adding wp_reset_query() iin your footer and see if that helps (for  
future reference) - Or call it after query_posts is finished.
