Expanding first post only (3 posts)

    Hi,

    I'm using a template that shows only post excerpts on the home page.
    I would like to expand just the first post and then leave all others as excerpts. Is there a plug in for this or a hack I can use? I have searched the forum and I'm finding answers that are close to what I need but not exactly.
    You can see my blog here: http://www.smittenbybritain.com

    Thank you!

    One example:

    <?php
$count = 0;
if (have_posts()) {
 while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  $count++;
    if ($count <= 1) {
      the_content();
    } else {
      the_excerpt();
    }
 endwhile;
}
?>

    I use the Excerpt Editor plugin to do that for me. It has a few more features that I use.
