 * I am using this code to style the first output in a query.
 * Hopefully it will help you do what you want.. 🙂
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts(''); ?>
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) { ?>
       	<?php $post = $posts[0]; $c=0;?>
       	<ul>
       		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       			<?php $c++;
       			if( $c == 1) : ?><!-- The first post displays like this -->
       				<li>
       					<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       					<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
       				</li>
       			<?php else :?> <!-- The rest of the posts -->
       				<li>
       					<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
       				</li>
       			<?php endif;?>
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       	</ul>
       <?php } else { echo "No posts"; }?>
       ```
