Remove class from first post listed??

    I am trying to create a slider that automatically pulls posts from a certain category.

    (See how it will eventually function here: http://benjamincharity.com/freelance/)

    It needs to be set up like this (notice the style ‘display:none’ on all except first):

    <div id="featured">
   <div id="loopedSlider">

      <ul class="nav-buttons">
           <li><a href="#" class="previous">P</a></li>
	   <li><a href="#" class="next">N</a></li>
      </ul>

      <div class="container">
	  <div class="slides">  

            <div id="slide1" class="slide">
                  SLIDE 1 CONTENT HERE
	    </div>  <!-- end .slide -->

            <div id="slide2" class="slide" style="display:none;">
                  SLIDE 2 CONTENT HERE
     	    </div>  <!-- end .slide -->

            <div id="slide3" class="slide" style="display:none;">
                  SLIDE 3 CONTENT HERE
	    </div>  <!-- end .slide -->

	 </div>  <!-- end #slides -->
      </div><!-- .container ends -->   

		<ul class="pagination">
			<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
		</ul>	

    </div>  <!-- .content ends -->
</div>  <!-- #featured ends -->

    So I changed the style addition to class=”displaynone” and used css to make that class display:none. I am just not sure how to either add that class to all of the slide divs other than the first, or remove that class from only the first.

    Right now I have this code (I have added the displaynone class already, so in this example I would need to remove this class on the first item):

    <div id="featured">

    <div id="loopedSlider">

   	 <ul class="nav-buttons">
		 <li id="p"><a href="#" class="previous"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/arrow-circle-left.png" alt="<" height="50px" width="50px" /></a></li>
		 <li id="n"><a href="#" class="next"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/images/arrow-circle-right.png" alt=">" height="50px" width="50px" /></a></li>
	  </ul>

	 <div class="container">
		 <div class="slides">  

<?php
query_posts("cat=16");

global $more;
// set $more to 0 in order to only get the first part of the post
$more = 0;
?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="slide displaynone">

  <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>

 <div class="entry">
   <?php the_content('<span class="moretext">[continue reading...]</span>'); ?>
 </div>  <!-- end .entry -->
	</div>  <!-- end .slide -->
<?php endwhile; ?>

		 </div>  <!-- end #slides -->
	    </div><!-- .end container -->   

		<ul class="pagination">
			<li><a href="#">1</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
			<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
		</ul>	

      </div>  <!-- end #loopedSlider -->

</div>  <!-- end #featured -->

    I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of PHP so I am quite lost on this. Any help would be so greatly appreciated as my site is almost finished except for this!

    Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin

    Thanks alchymyth!

    However, using the code suggested (below) my entire page doesn’t render.

    Also,
    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;
?>

    How would I call category 16 in the above code?

    Thanks again!
