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

[Alan Castonguay]

To combine these, you can also do something like this;

<?php
if( have_posts() ) :

the_post();
?>
DOING SOMETHING WEIRD TO THE MOST RECENT POST HERE
<?php

while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
OUTPUTTING THE REST NORMALLY HERE
<?php endwhile;

endif; ?>
