Can′t add pagination on WooThemes Thick Theme

Everything I have tried has led to nothing. And I have tried six way’s from Sunday to get my main posts to paginate.

example one:

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; 
query_posts('offset=1&showposts=' . get_option('woo_other_entries') . '&cat=-' . $GLOBALS['ex_asides'] . '&paged=$paged' ); ?>

example two:

<?php 
global $myOffset; 
global $wp_query;
$myOffset = 1;
$paged = intval(get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$temp = $wp_query;
$wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query(array(
 'offset' => $myOffset,
 'category__not_in' => array($GLOBALS['ex_asides'],7,84),
 'paged' => $paged,
 'showposts' => get_option('woo_other_entries'),
 )); ?>

example three:

<?php 
global $myOffset;
$myOffset = 1;
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$wp_query->query(array(
 'offset' => $myOffset,
 'category__not_in' => array($GLOBALS['ex_asides'],7,84),
 'paged' => $paged,
 'showposts' => get_option('woo_other_entries'),
 )); ?>

And after those tries, I just can’t get more pages beyond the option’s that I choose, and can only pull an archive via the browse more link.

Any suggestions or anything?
