Featured post

Hi,

On my portfolio page I would like to give my featured post (one post) a different style than the other posts.

At the moment I’m using the following code:

<div id="portfolio">

 <?php
  // Get all portfolio projects from custom post type
  $args = array(
   'post_type' => 'portfolio',
   'posts_per_page' => -1
  );

  $query = new WP_Query($args);
  $countposts = 0;

  while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();

  $countposts++;
  if ($countposts == 1) {
 ?>

 <!-- Begin Featured Project -->
 <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-featured">
     Here comes the featured project
  </div>
 </div>
 <!-- End Featured Project -->

 <?php } else { // Normal projects ?>

 <!-- Begin Portfolio Project -->
 <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
  <div class="entry-normal">
    Here comes the normal project
  </div>
 </div>
 <!-- End Portfolio Project -->

 <?php } endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

</div>

Now I would like to add a simple heading (like “Other projects”) between the featured project and the list of normal projects.

Like here:
<!– End Featured Project –>

<h3>Other projects</h3>

<!– Begin Portfolio Project –>

To achieve this I have to stop the first loop, then add the heading and start the loop again.

I’ve tried to use rewind_posts, but then the loop is also displaying the featured post as a normal post.

Is there someone who can help me with this? Thanks in advance!
