use this

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />

1. find the url of your posts page
2. insert this url into your template

to find the url, just go to

settings -> reading then under “Front page displays” you’ll see something like “Post page” and then a dropdown list. Note down what page you set it to. Then go to manage -> pages, then find the page, click on it (this will take you to the page). Then just note down the url.

Before the loop type

<?php function post_style() {

	static $post_count;

	$post_count++;

		if ($post_count % 2) {

			echo "post_alt";

		}

		else {

			echo "post";

		}

}

?>

Instead of <div class=”post”> (or whatever else wraps your post)

use

<div class="<?php post_style(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

then end the loop with… (notice the else)

<?php endwhile; ?>
		<?php else : ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

to style this apply all styles to
.post
and
.post_alt

so in your case type:

.post{ background: #fff;}
.post_alt{ background: #eee;}

instead of the_content use the_excerpt
