Question: I am trying to fill my webpage with content based on content stored in a database. However, I would like to skip the first item; I want to start looping from the second item.

How can I achieve this?

```
@foreach($aboutcontent as $about)
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
   <div class="thumbnail">
     <img id="" class="img-responsive" src="images/{{ $about->aboutimg }}" alt="">
        <div class="caption">
            <h3>{{ $about->aboutname }}</h3>
            <p>{{ $about->aboutinfo }}</p>
        </div>
   </div>
</div>
@endforeach

```

Answer: 
You need some kind of a counter if you want to do that in blade:

```
<?php $count = 0;?>
@foreach
    @if($count>1)
        <div class="col-md-4 text-center">
           <div class="thumbnail">
             <img id="" class="img-responsive" src="images/{{ $about->aboutimg }}" alt="">
                <div class="caption">
                    <h3>{{ $about->aboutname }}</h3>
                    <p>{{ $about->aboutinfo }}</p>
                </div>
           </div>
        </div>
    @endif
    $count++
@endforeach

```

EDIT:

I like the answer provided by Mark Baker in the comment better

```
@foreach(array_slice($aboutcontent, 1) as $about)
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
   <div class="thumbnail">
     <img id="" class="img-responsive" src="images/{{ $about->aboutimg }}" alt="">
        <div class="caption">
            <h3>{{ $about->aboutname }}</h3>
            <p>{{ $about->aboutinfo }}</p>
        </div>
   </div>
</div>
@endforeach

```
Try this

```
@foreach($aboutcontent->slice(1) as $about)
       <div class="col-md-4 text-center">
       <div class="thumbnail">
         <img id="" class="img-responsive" src="images/{{ $about->aboutimg }}" alt="">
            <div class="caption">
                <h3>{{ $about->aboutname }}</h3>
                <p>{{ $about->aboutinfo }}</p>
            </div>
       </div>
    </div>
@endforeach

```
