   If I want to pull only from a certain category, where would I put that call?

   Using this:
   

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php $post = $posts[0]; $c=0;?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   <?php $c++;
   if( $c == 1) :?>
   <h1>The first post on the main index page</h1>
   <?php the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   
   <?php else :?>
   <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endif;?>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   I was using this:
   

   <?php
   query_posts("cat=16");
   global $more;
   // set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
   $more = 0;
   ?>

   But obviously this lacks the style changes. Not sure how to combine...

   Thanks in advance

   Try:

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $args= array(
   	'cat' => 16,
   	'paged' => $paged
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   <?php $post = $posts[0]; $c=0;?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   [...]

   Sorry, I'm still a bit new at this, how can I use what you have shared, and still have the first styled differently as in my example?

   Thanks again
