Query posts to get all but the most recent post

Question

I want to use the query_posts() function to limit the posts to all but the most recent on one of my templates. This is because the most recent post is a featured item alone on it's own page where as the rest of the posts are to be on another page. It was easy enough to display the most recent one on one of my templates:

<?php query_posts(array('category_name' => 'Recipe of the Week', 'posts_per_page' => 1)); ?>

So basically I'd like something like that but to limit it to all but the first post.

Thanks, John.

Answer 1

I had to use the WP_Query class:

$the_query = new WP_Query(array( 'category_name' => 'Recipe of the Week', 'offset' => 1 )

And then reference my new query object in the template like this:

<?php while ( $the_query-> have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

Answer 2

'Recipe of the Week', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'offset' => 1)); ?>

I think this might do it.. just testing.
