bleggate on "retrieve multiple pages and posts/ category for Home page, using query_posts?"

Hi

I am wanting to feature on my home page only in an archive type feed, pages and posts (or a category) - using WordPress php and codex

this is the code I have worked on to date for the functions.php file of my theme

function child_before_loop () {
    global $query_string; 

    if( is_home() )
$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'post__in' => array(19)
  );
$categoryvariable = $cat;
$args = 'cat=10' . $categoryvariable . '&orderby=date&order=ASC';
query_posts( $args );
} 

add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_loop');  

add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'child_header_title', 10, 3 );

[Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum's parser.]

I have also used this code below for categories only which works

function child_before_loop () {
    global $query_string; 

    if( is_home() )
    query_posts($query_string . "&cat=10");
    } 

add_action('genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_loop');  

add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'child_header_title', 10, 3 );

[And again...]

so the challenge is how to call cat10 posts and page id 19 at the same time.

sure it must be simple but I am not seeing it.

thanks
