Expanding first post only | WordPress.org

Hi,

I’m using a template that shows only post excerpts on the home page.
I would like to expand just the first post and then leave all others as excerpts. Is there a plug in for this or a hack I can use? I have searched the forum and I’m finding answers that are close to what I need but not exactly.
You can see my blog here: http://www.smittenbybritain.com

Thank you!

One example:
```
<?php
$count = 0;
if (have_posts()) {
 while (have_posts()) : the_post();
  $count++;
    if ($count <= 1) {
      the_content();
    } else {
      the_excerpt();
    }
 endwhile;
}
?>
```

I use the Excerpt Editor plugin to do that for me. It has a few more features that I use.
