   I know there are several threads dedicated to this, but most that I have tried have not worked. Basically I am trying to get http://billowen.cc to display the first post as a full post. Then all remaining posts as partial posts.

   Is this possible?

   one way - assume you can fill in the code details

   <?php
   $i = 0;  // initialize counter
   
   { start WP Loop}
   while have_posts()...
      $i++;   // increment counter
     { display title, date, author, category, comments }
   
     if ( $i == 1 ) {
         the_content();
     } else {
         the_excerpt();
     }
   
   endwhile;
   ?>

   I'm new to PHP. Where would this go? In my page.php file? Thanks for any help!

   Since its your posts page, in most themes it would be the theme's index.php file.

   If you are not sure what the WordPress loop is, here is a page about it
   http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

   you can also see the Codes pages about
   the_content http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content and
   the_excerpt http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
