blog layout stupid newbie question
 

1) i would like to have thumbnail of top (last added) article bigger than next thumbs of older posts like it is here http://zpravy.idnes.cz/ so i would upload two sizes of images for each post and the newest one has big thumb and rest of older posts have small thumbs...

2) i want to have only first few words of artictle to be shown at main page but full article at post page... is it possible to set that article has only some maximum characters at main page but full article at post page somehow? would any blog cms works like that?


how can i do that or what blog cms should i choose please?

thank you very much for your help blog gurus!

1. I am pretty sure you can do that with Joomla.

2. Again, you can do it with Joomla but I am not sure how good Joomla is as blog CMS. You can of course do the same thing with Wordpress.
