 * I want to replace the Post name and date on the first page of my site
 * [http://realemotionx.net/rexcast](http://realemotionx.net/rexcast)
 * With an image. I know this would involve modifying the Loop. But I dont know 
   with exactly what. Any Suggestions?

 * Try something like:
 *     ```
       <?php $c = 0;
       if (have_posts()) :  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $c ++;?>
   
       <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       <?php if( $c ==1 ) : ?>
       <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/my-image.jpg" width="xx" height="yy" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
       <?php else :?>
       <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>
       <?php endif;?>
       ```
