# Different templates for different posts?

 * You know when you create a Page, you can specify a different Page template? Can
   you do that with posts?
 * On my home page, I have some posts which are more important than others. I still
   want to list my posts chronologically, but I want to the less important posts
   to be smaller (customized via a template.)
 * **Can I make specific individual posts use a different loop _template_ than others
   on the _home_ page?**
 * (For example, on daringfireball.net, he has posts which are smaller, and posts
   which are larger, like the “‘Web Kit’ vs. ‘WebKit’” post.)
 * Help appreciated.

 * Never mind; simple if statements in the index.php did the job!
