 * How would I find a plugin similar to the one that is on this template called 
   Breeze found at [http://breeze.unispheredesign.com/](http://breeze.unispheredesign.com/).
 * Basically I am interested in having the most recent post highlighted with a blurb
   and then have the previous 3 posts on the other side.
 * Is there a plugin/widget I can add?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * I’m not sure I’ve really seen plugins/widgets that do this, since this effect
   is easily reproduced using a simple [WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query).
 * They just queried for 4 posts from that category and styled the first one differently
   from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th posts.
 * Here’s an example:
 *     ```
       // The query arguments
       $args = array('showposts' => 4);
   
       // Creating the new query
       $query = new WP_Query($args);
   
       // The loop starts, initialize the count
       while $query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post()); count++;
   
       // If first post
       if ($count == 1) {
   
       Code for the first post
   
       } else { // Else do this to the other 3 posts
   
       Code for the other 3 posts
   
       }
   
       // End the loop
       endwhile;
       ```

 * I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to respond. It helped me a
   lot. 🙂
