query_posts with multiple parameters

For some reason, query_posts will not accept multiple parameters for me. See here. Below is the code used to display the ‘From the Blog’ section. If it makes any difference I’m using the Carrington Framework.

<?php

                                //The Query
                                query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=blog');

                                //The Loop
                                if (have_posts()) {
                                        while (have_posts()) {
                                                the_post();
                                                cfct_content();
                                        }
                                }

                                //Reset Query
                                wp_reset_query();

                            ?>
