Loop Trouble

I have two loops going on on my site one is in the header and is set to get 1 post from the featured category and another that is set to get all post I don’t care if it has duplicates. Now this seems to work but when I get on to the single page I can’t comment and all the posts pages now have the featured post on them. I hope I did a good job of explaining here is the site so you can see better https://www.rmaspero.com/bloggingadventure.

and here is the code.

Header..

<?php query_posts(‘category_name=featured&showposts=1’); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><div id=”featured-image”><?php the_meta();??>
<div id=”featured-title”> Featured: <?php the_title() ?></div>
</div>

<?php endwhile;?>

index….

<?php query_posts(‘cat=all’); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2 class=”post-title”>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div id=”entry”>
<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>
</div>
<div id=”meta-data”>
Posted by <?php the_author() ?> at <?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> with the following tags : <?php the_tags(‘Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘
‘); ?>
</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<div class=”next-previous”>
<div><?php next_posts_link(‘« Older Entries’) ?></div>
<div><?php previous_posts_link(‘Newer Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>

<?php else : ?>

<h2>Not Found</h2>
<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . “/searchform.php”); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

single….

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”navigation”>
<div><?php previous_post_link(‘« %link’) ?></div>
<div><?php next_post_link(‘%link »’) ?></div>
</div>

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this entry »</p>’); ?>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>
<?php the_tags( ‘<p>Tags: ‘, ‘, ‘, ‘</p>’); ?>
