In your digest's case, you would probably do it on the row:

instead of:

<tr>

And then add this in the header part:

I forget if hiding table rows like this works or not, but in theory it should.

OK, I understand but that will not work for me as I'm already using a special tag in my templates. Since you cannot stack different tags with a template I can't use this solution. In the future please consider adding something to your "Edit Digest" page that allows people to choose which post they would like to start with. I believe this would be very beneficial to many in the future.
By the way, I love your software. Please keep up the great work.
Thanks!

Not directly, but you could use CSS to "hack" a solution. We have a tag called %COUNTER% which outputs the number of the current post. You could surround each item with a DIV that uses this. Example:

<div id="post%COUNTER%"> ... usual template here ... </div>

Now posts would be DIVs called.. post1, post2, post3, and so on respectively.

Then you could specify some CSS somewhere that does display: none for #post1, so then the first post would not appear.

This all relies on understanding HTML and CSS, however, but I know there are a number of users using this technique.

Please visit http://www.lastdaysreports.com/ so you can see what I mean.

Is it possible to tell a digest to ignore the first story and start with the second? If you notice at the website mentioned above I'm repeating the top story at a couple different sections when I really don't want to. By the way, I'm using del.icio.us.

Please let me know. Thanks, Frank
