   Right now all my posts in my index page are excerpts
   I want to query the latest post and make it function with the <!--more--> tag.
   How do I query the first post and put the condition ?

   I want it to be like
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); {
   if query_post(latest post)
   the_content();
   else
   the_excerpt();
   } ?>

   I think the query part is wrong though. I have no idea which to use. Any help here ?

   if i understand what you are asking for, you need two loops.

   display the full content of the 1st post
   

   <?php query_posts('showposts=1');
   while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
      <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   display excerpts from all the other posts - skip the first post (offset = 1)

   <?php query_posts('offset=1');
   while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
      <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   What does showpost=1 means ?
   Does that means the latest post?

   So if I put showpost=2 or showpost=3 or showpost=4
   Does that means 2nd latest, 3rd latest and 4th latest ?

   showposts means the number of posts to show

   it starts at the latest one by default

   offset=1 means to skip the first one
