Combining wordpress admin page content with custom template? - php

Question

Is there a way to combine content from a wordpress page's main textarea with the content in its custom template?
In this case I have a custom template that displays all posts from a single category, but I would also like to have a section that displays what is written in the wordpress admin Page area.
This is how I have the custom template set up to display relevant posts:
<?php query_posts('category_name=baby-coupons'); ?>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title() ;?> <span class="post-date">- <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span></h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="one-third">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>
</div>
<div class="two-third last">
<?php the_excerpt() ;?>
</div>
</div><!--/row-->
<hr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Above this I would like to have the wordpress pages admin area content display, what a user would normally write into the textarea to display on the page, is this possible?

Answer 1

This is what I've come up with:
<?php get_posts(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content() ;?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php query_posts('category_name=baby-coupons'); ?>
<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title() ;?> <span class="post-date">- <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span></h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="one-third">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>
</div>
<div class="two-third last">
<?php the_excerpt() ;?>
</div>
</div><!--/row-->
<hr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
Is this acceptable? It's working but I'm not sure how classy it is!
