   Then why don't you ask the owners of the two blogs you linked to. A polite question/request sometimes makes miracles :)

   oh i didnt think of that.
   well anyway i did some reading and came up with this
   
<div id="content">
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=3');
$postnum = 2; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) :?>
<?php $postCount=0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php $postCount++;?>
<div class="entry entry-<?php echo $postCount ;?>">
<div class="entrybody">
<?php if ($postnum == $postCount) {
the_excerpt('Continue Reading the Post');
} else {
the_content('Read the rest of the Post'); } ?></div>


   how can i make it show the excerpt for post 2, 3 and so on
