   Hi there,
   I’ve searched the forum but I couldn’t find a solution for this:
   On my front page I want a list of my latest posts and it shall be shown as excerpt ( the_excerpt(); ). Only the first article shall be shown in whole ( the_content(); ). Isn’t there an easy if/else-way to realize this?
   I’ve found something like this:

   if (is_post()) {
   global $more;
   $more = 1;
   the_content();
   } else the_excerpt();

   but it just show me one article as excerpt.

   Didn't test this but something similar to:

   <?php
   if (have_posts()) {
     $count = 0;
     while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <?php
       $count++;
       if ($count <= 1) {
         the_content(); // display the full content of the first two posts only
       } else {
         the_excerpt;
       } // if ($count
     } // while (have_posts
   } // if (have_poss
   ?>

   Thanks Michael!

   The code doesn’t work for me, but this Plug-In is exactly what I was looking for: http://www.dailyblogtips.com/homepage-excerpts-wordpress-plugin/
