  Hi, try something like this...
  
  
  

  <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
  
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  
  
  
  <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>
  
  <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
  
  <?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == "1") { break; } else { ?>
  
  
  
  <?php the_title(); ?>
  
  <?php the_content(); ?> // display the full content of the first post only
  
  
  
  <?php $count1++; } ?>
  
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  
  
  
  
  
  <?php query_posts('showposts=2'); ?>
  
  <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=2&offset=1'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
  
  <?php static $count2 = 0; if ($count2 == "2") { break; } else { ?>
  
  
  
  <?php the_title(); ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> // display the excerpt of the next two
  
  <?php $count2++; } ?>
  
  
  
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  
  
  
  
  
  <?php query_posts('showposts=8'); ?>
  
  <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=8&offset=3'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
  
  <?php static $count3 = 0; if ($count3 == "8") { break; } else { ?>
  
  
  
  <a class="" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>  // display the last as just title and link
  
  
  
  <?php $count3++; } ?>
  
  
  
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  
    
  
  
  
  		<?php endwhile; ?>

    This seems to spit out unnecessary code and is not what I was asking for.

  The next five recent posts
  

  <?php
  
  
  
  // The Query for 4 to 9 recent posts

  The following lines to be go on your functions.php file
  
  

  
  
  add_theme_support( 'thumbnail' ); //to support featured thumbnail
  
  
  
  function the_excerpt_max_charlength($charlength) {
  
     $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();

     if(strlen($excerpt)>$charlength) {
  
         $subex = substr($excerpt,0,$charlength-5);
  
         $exwords = explode(" ",$subex);
  
         $excut = -(strlen($exwords[count($exwords)-1]));
  
         if($excut<0) {
  
              echo substr($subex,0,$excut);

  Hello Nile,
  Maybe you can try this...
  
  

  
  
  //Place this into your function.php,. this will filter the excerpt length
  
  
  
  function new_excerpt_length($length) {
  
  	return 150;
  
  }
  
  add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');
  
  

  
  
  
  

  
  
  //multi loops start here. this will query on the condition given base on what you need.
  
  // it works on me. hope this helps..
  
  
  
  <?php
  
      $multi_loops = new WP_Query();
  
      $multi_loops->query('showposts=7');
  
      $i = 0;
  
  ?>
  
  
  
  <?php while ($multi_loops->have_posts()) : $multi_loops->the_post(); ?>
  
  <li>
  
  <?php  if($i > 2): ?>
  
              <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
  
  <?php       if(has_post_thumbnail)
  
                   echo the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
  
              <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"> read more...</a>
  
  <?php  else: 
  
              if(has_post_thumbnail)
  
                   echo the_post_thumbnail();
  
                   the_excerpt();
  
             endif;  
  
              $i++;
  
   ?>
  
  </li>
  
  <?php endwhile; ?>
