   I am using the modular theme, and I was wondering if there was an edit that could be done to the #3 style for the blog? I would like the first (most recent) post to be the full post, and then have the others as summaries like they are. Is there an easy way to make that happen?

   Yes. Use a page. On that page put two calls to [blog_list], the first one has one set of parameters, but shows only one post. The other uses offset=1 to skip the first post, and only displays excerpts. They can also have different layouts. You could have a large image for the first, and thumbnail sized images for the rest, for example.

   Thanks for your help jarrowwx!

   Indeed, you can combine 2 different blog shortcodes in a single page, and thus achieve the effect that you are looking for. Here you can find a guide that describes the different options that those shortcodes offer: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Blog_Shortcode

   I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks a lot. This will probably solve some other things that come up in the future. Thanks so much.
