   Hi,

   I am trying to create a homepage where I have a featured slider that uses the excerpt, now I want to have the latest posts on my homepage too but using the more tag.

   Now I have the latest post on the homepage at present but it too is using the excerpt and not the more tag which doesnt look pleasant.

   Here is the code I'm using.

   <?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
   
   <h3 class="hpost">Latest Post</h3>
   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=news&showposts=1');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php
   query_posts('showposts=1&cat=5');
   while(have_posts()) : the_post();
   ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php }

   Now, I have very very little knowledge of hooks, fuctions and so on... so if anyone can give me any assistance it would be appreciated.

   Basically I want it so that the latest post shows using the more tag, so that it will display an image that is in the post.

   Thanks
