Thank you!!!

Yes, we are using a static home page. I think…

This is the code we are using on the index.php page which is the one we are customizing for the blog page:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
            <?php
global $post;
$the_newest = get_posts('numberposts=1');
$the_newer = get_posts('numberposts=3&offset=1'); ?>

<?php foreach($the_newest as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);	?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<h1 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="postmeta">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  </div>

<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('<span>Read on &raquo;</span>'); ?>
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-5124ed6b2f85e2eb"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END --> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', 'Comment (1)', 'Comments (%)'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php foreach($the_newer as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);	?>
<div id="blog-excerpt">
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<h1 class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt('<span>Read on &raquo;</span>'); ?>
</div>
<div class="postmeta">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>

<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-5124ed6b2f85e2eb"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END --><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', 'Comment (1)', 'Comments (%)'); ?></div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

			<div class="navigation">
					<div id="next-ent"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
					<div id="prev-ent"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
				</div>

			</article><!-- #post-0 -->

		<?php endif; // end have_posts() check ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->

I’m using PayPal standard if it makes a difference.
