How to exclude sticky posts from the loop?
Travis’ answer is fine if you’re building your own query, for a secondary loop perhaps, but if you need to modify your main blog query, you can use pre_get_posts to filter out the sticky posts.
How to exclude sticky posts from the WP query?
I took @tnorthcutt’s answer from WordPress’ Codex on query_posts () about Sticky Parameters and created a tandalone example you can drop as test.php into your website’s root and see it run by navigating to a URL like this, with your domain substituted:
Why are my recent posts sticky on WordPress?

What does offset = 1 mean in WP query?
Also I wanted to make sure you know that starting with an offset=1 (instead of offset=0) means you’ll be excluding the first post that otherwise would be returned by the query.
