   Hi there,

   I want to show summary for the first news item, followed by the 3 latest.

   So latest in full summary, and following 3 as titles only - currently using the following code. However it is repeating the first news item in the archive list.

   How do i code the php so it misses the first news item from the archive list?

   <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
   						<div class="postmetadata">Posted on <?php the_time('j F Y') ?></div>
   					<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   					<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   					<li><?php the_excerpt(__('(more…)')); ?></li>
   					<?php endwhile;?>
   				</ul>
   					<ul class="archive">
   						<?php get_archives('postbypost', '3', 'custom', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>
   					</ul>

   this seems to cover pretty much exactly what you are after, rather than get_archives

   as an aside, get_archives is deprecated, should use wp_get_archives
