 * on the following blog, [http://thenewsblog.org](http://thenewsblog.org) , the
   first post shows the entire contents, while all subsequent posts show an excerpt,
   with a link to “Read the Rest of This Article”. however, that link does not make
   sense on the first post. how can i remove it from the first post, while have 
   it remain for the remaining posts?

 * Are you using a plugin to handle excerpts? Or a plugin to post the “Filed in”
   information at the bottom of your post? Did you put the `<!--more-->` at the 
   bottom of your post? Something is triggering the “Read More” tag to show up. 
   It might be that it is forced into the Theme’s design. Or a plugin is triggering
   the response.
 * Honestly, this first post will fade away like the rest of them chronologlically,
   so I’d ignore it. If the next post you make is showcased in its entirity with
   another “read more” tag in there, then there is something else to track down 
   to solve the problem.
