  I would really appreciate the help on this one.

  I have a page_blog.php that is job to fetch news from the database and display them by date. I have tweaked the code a little bit so that I can skip the first 4 articles (because they are being posted on the mainpage) once skipped, it’ll start displaying 8 articles per page.

  The problem is, when I click on “next page”, it takes me to /page/3 but the articles are staying the same, what I really want is the articles to change in the next page as well.

  This is my code

  <?php get_header(); ?>
  
  <div id="content">
  
  	<div id="contentleft">
  
  		<div class="postarea">
  
  		<?php // include(TEMPLATEPATH."/breadcrumb.php");?>
          <br /><br />
  
  			<!--The blog page template is currently set to show 5 posts.  Change showposts=5 to whatever number of posts you want to display.-->
  			<!--Replace cat=1 with the Category ID you want to display in this section. See the README file to learn how to locate the Category ID-->
  			<?php $page = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; query_posts("showposts=8&offset=4"); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>	
  
              <?php
  				$arabic="";
  				foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
  				if($category->cat_name=="Arabic"){
  				$arabic='1';
  				echo '<div style="text-align:right;">';
  				} }
  				?>
  		<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
  		<?php if($arabic=="1"){ the_excerpt_rereloaded('50','<strong>تـتـمـة</strong>','<a>,<i>,<em>,<b>,<strong>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>,<span>,<blockquote>','plain'); } else{ the_excerpt_rereloaded('50','<strong>Suite</strong>','<a>,<i>,<em>,<b>,<strong>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>,<span>,<blockquote>','plain');} ?>
          				<div class="hpfeedmeta">
  					<p><?php the_time('j F, Y'); ?> | <?php comments_popup_link('Aucun commentaire', '1 Commentaire', '% Commentaires'); ?></p>
  				</div>
                  <?php
  				if($arabic=="1"){
  				echo '</div>';
  				}
  				?>
  
  			<div class="postmeta2">
  				<?php //the_tags('') ?>
  			</div>
  
  			<?php endwhile; ?>
  
  			<p align="right"><strong><?php
  			 if(get_query_var('paged')=='2'){
  			 echo '<a href="/">&laquo; Accueil</a> | ';
  			 next_posts_link('Page Suivante &raquo;');
  			 }else{
  			 posts_nav_link(' | ', '&laquo; Page Précédente', 'Page Suivante &raquo;');
  			 }
  			 ?></strong></p>
  
  		</div>
  
  	</div>
  
  <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>
  
  </div>
  
  <!-- The main column ends  -->
  
  <?php get_footer(); ?>
