   I am trying to get a home.page to show the first post with the update icon. SO I created a get_post at the front of home.php, but now that post is repeated directly below. What do I need to do to skip that post?

   you should build a new query ..
   And then use the OFFSET
   Like so :

   First

   <?php $first_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1'); ?>
   <?php while($first_query->have_posts()) : $first_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
   <div class="first">
   <h3>the title</h3>
   <?php the_content("»» " . the_title('', '', false)); ?>
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   second

   <ul class="second">
   <?php $first_query = new WP_Query('showposts=9&offset=1'); ?> //** 9 is only an example, you can have any number or unlimit /**
   <?php while($first_query->have_posts()) : $first_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

   <li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="<?=($i%2)?"odd":"even";$i++;?>">" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>  »»
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   (This example, with the right CSS, wil lalso HIGHLIGHT the first post.
