[wp-hackers]Treat most recent post differently to the rest

[Glenn Ansley]

I've done this before by just testing for the loop count. $wp_query
has this built in. The first post in the loop is 0
global $wp_query;
if ( $wp_query->current_post === 0 ) {
   // style for first
}else{
  // style for the rest
}
