So the same for me. Get a few posts (or partial of posts like thumb, short description, id and slug), and in a loop make a condition: if first - show article (part of article) and if next - put just links. So you have to generate links by slug or by id (no idea, what your database looks like).

You will get more content from database, than you need, but if it is just a 5-10 posts, there is completely no problem at all. And to show only one post content you have to make a simple condition like:


for( $x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++ ) {
if( $x == 0 ) {
echo $result[$i]->title;
echo $result[$i]->content;
} else {
echo '<a href="'. $result[$i]->link .'">'. $result[$i]->title .'</a>';
}
}

where $result is data from your database
