 * This should be simple 🙂
    I have a front page that displays the xxx number of
   most recent posts. How can I exclude every even number post? That way with each
   single new post it would appear that the entire site had changed.

 * Try something like:
 *     ```
       <?php $my_count=0;
       if (have_posts()) :  while (have_posts()) :
       $my_count++;
       if( $my_count % 2 ) == 0 continue;
       the_post(); ?>
       ```
