   Hi I would like the first post to display fully, and then the next two posts to display the excerpt along with a post- thumbnail.

   How would I do this with thematic? I am still getting my head around the functions.

   Thanks

   What about the other posts? Or do you display only 3 posts?

   This code will display the first post on your front page / blog page as full content and everything else excerpt only:

   function front_page_content($content) {
   	// We need some global data. $thematic_post_alt is the post number on a page.
           // $paged is the page number
   	global $thematic_post_alt, $paged;
   	// Check if we are on the Front page or on our Blog page. You might want to
   	// change this first check according to your installation.
   	if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
   		// Check if we are on the first page and if it is the first
                   // post on this page
   		if (($paged < 2) && ( ($thematic_post_alt-1) == 1 )) {
   			// The first post on the first page will be full content
   			$content = 'full';
   		} else {
   			// Everything else will be excerpt
   			$content = 'excerpt';
   		}
   	}
   	// Return the controll to the thematic_content filter hook
   	return $content;
   }
   // Hook our function into thematic content
   add_filter('thematic_content', 'front_page_content');
