 * Hey all
 * I couldn’t find this topic anywhere, so excuse me if it’s already been asked.
 * I am trying to change my blog page so that only the latest/top post shows full
   content, the featured image and the comment box, and for the rest of the entries
   below it to show just their titles without any content snippets.
 * Is there a way to set it up so I can edit the code for just the latest post, 
   and then I will just edit the main loop to only show the titles for the rest 
   of the posts?
 * My first instinct was “first-child” but that more pertains to css styling, not
   really what i’m trying to achieve.
 * Am I on the right track?
 * Site is here: perspectiveinaction.com
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi,
 * You seem to have a good knowledge of PHP. There are many ways to do this but 
   one I could think of is that you should have 2 loops one limited to show only
   one post which is your latest post and the other one to only show the Titles.
 * Have a look at this: [Query Posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts)
 * If you need I could have a look at your code and help you more to achieve this
   goal.

 * respectyoda: thanks for the judgment but I think a poster is when you make profit,
   I’m offering to help for free. Why not you try to help some others for free instead
   of complaining about others gratitude 😉

 * Ok so everything is there, except for the second loop, it’s only giving me the
   latest post again. Do I have to reset the query or something?
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>
       				<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
       					<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       						<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
       	<header class="entry-header">
       		<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       		<?php dw_minion_entry_meta(); ?>
       	</header>
       	<?php if( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
       	<div class="entry-thumbnail"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a></div>
       	<?php endif; ?>
       	<div class="entry-content">
       		<?php the_content(); ?>
       	</div>
       </article>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       				<?php else : ?>
       					<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'index' ); ?>
       				<?php endif; ?>
   
       				<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
       					<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       						<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
       	<header class="entry-header">
       		<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       		<?php dw_minion_entry_meta(); ?>
       	</header>
       </article>
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       				<?php else : ?>
       					<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'index' ); ?>
       				<?php endif; ?>

 * solved that myself lol
 * on the second loop, add the offset=1. This query is telling the loop to only 
   display 5 posts which follow the most recent post (1).
 * `<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=10&offset=1'); ?>`

   rest.
