how to display post in jquery slider and carousel
<p>ok I'm pretty new to wordpress and the codex seems too complicated for a newbie like me. My homepage has both a  <a href="http://workshop.rs/projects/coin-slider/" rel="nofollow">slider</a>(which I want it to display <code>5</code> latest post) and a <a href="http://caroufredsel.frebsite.nl/" rel="nofollow">carousel</a>(which should display <code>4</code> older post) </p>

<p>I know wordpress uses the query_post() function to display the posts but my problem is how to employ this function in both the carousel and the slider (which are both on the homepage). :(</p>
