Hi guys!

ok this is probably simple for someone that understands the loop.

on one page i am showing 5 posts, but when you click "older entries" it doesn't display the next 5 posts. it displays the same posts again... so i am doing something wrong.

this is the page that i am talking about... http://star-signings.com/category/deals/

disclaimer: i am using category.php to control both the deals and the news section (i don't know if i should have seperate pages for each?) - if someone could explain the pros and cons of having loops for different pages in the category.php then that would be absolutley amazing...

anyway this is the loop i am using at the moment and i think i need something added to it, so that it works properly when you click "older entries"

<?php if (is_category('deals')) { 
	query_posts('category_name=deals&posts_per_page=5');
};
?>

obviously this is saying, if it's the deals page, show 5 posts, but how do i get it to work properly?

below is the whole code for category.php just incase it helps! =

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME! I WOULD LOVE YOU IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS!!!
