Style First Article Differently

Okay, so I have adjusted my style sheet for this and it works to an extent. Basically, I set up the following IF statement:

<txp:if_first_article> <div class=“firstpost”> <txp:body /> </div>
<txp:else /> <txp:rss_auto_excerpt paragraphs=“4” linktext=“Read more &hellip;” />
</txp:if_first_article>

And it works properly for the first article on the first page. But then if I hit the “Older” link, when the second page loads, obviously the style for first post is applied to the first post on that page. I do not want that to happen, so my question is this: Is there a way to check what page has loaded (i.e. http://indigospot.com/?pg=2) using TXP if statements? I was not able to find anything to this effect, but perhaps I am approaching the problem the wrong way.

Also, I’d prefer not to have to set a flag for a first article and then have to go back and change it every time I post a new article. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
