Getting posts from some categories plus some individual posts

The problem here is that WP_Query requires the posts returned to be both in your lists of post IDs and in one of your categories. The SQL query generated by your code looks something like this: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.ID IN (8200,3581,38,1562,7613) AND … Read more

Display 3 posts with different HTML markup using a loop

The WordPress query object has an internal counter, current_post, which you can use to check the position of the post in the loop you are currently outputting, whether it’s the main query $wp_query or a custom query you create via WP_Query.

Posts being viewed

I would suggest a way to implement this to be in the post template have a call that updates post meta with the current timestamp. Then you can show posts that have been viewed recently by querying meta data for all values within a certain time range ordered by that timestamp.

Custom Post type showing up in loop, regular posts are not showing up

At first, not everyone knows, but definetly should know, that there is a pre_get_posts hook which should, in most cases, be used instead of query_posts.
