// initiate the default wordpress loop as usual
next_post();
// display the post if variable is an odd number
else : the_post(); ?>
// open a division for the left column
// display the title of the post
// display the post content
// close the division
// close the first if statement
// display some alternate content
Alternate content
// close the second if statement
// reset the count variable to zero
// the second loop is essentially the same as the first
// the only difference is that we are testing the count variable against a non-zero value to display only even numbers
next_post(); else : the_post(); ?>
// and of course a unique div id for the right column
