   Hi,
   I ask your help to change my theme. I would like to change the archive pages to view the excerpt only for the last post. For the other ones I just want the title with the link.
   Is it possibile to do something like this?
   Thank so muck

   edit archive.php;

   the rest depends on the theme that you are using, as the code in the templates files can vary.

   it can be done using a counter variable in the loop, to show the excerpt only once if the counter is equal to 1;

   example code from the (before wp3) kubrick default theme:

   <?php $counter = 1;
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div <?php post_class() ?>>
     <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
       <?php if( $counter == 1 ) { //only show excerpt once
   	<div class="entry">
   	<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   	</div>
       <?php $counter++; } // increase counter ?>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   if you need more help, please post the name and download link of your theme, and maybe a link to your site.
