Hi,
so I am trying to show two blog posts of a certain category on one of my page templates. I have managed to write a function that pulls in all blog posts and makes them accessible via the page and then I have the below code on the template to render out just 2 posts with the correct category of "Business-Featured". which works, however, it seems to be running the loop twice as it is bringing in both posts twice. can anyone see where I have gone wrong?

		<% if $RecentNews %>
			<% loop $RecentNews %>
				<% loop $Categories %>
					<% if $Title ="Business-Featured" %>		
						<% loop blogPosts.Limit(2) %>
							<div class="col-md-6">
								$FeaturedImage.CroppedImage(555, 144)
								<div class="post-preview">
									<h3><a href="$Link">$Title</a></h3>
									<p>$Summary <a href="$Link" style="display: inline;">Read More...</a></p>
								</div>
							</div>
						<% end_loop %>
					<% end_if %>
				<% end_loop %>
			<% end_loop %>
		<% end_if %>
