Getting images to always appear in the first post

Hi,

I am trying to code the home page of my site so that 2 images always appear with the top post. The page I am taking about can be seen here –
https://development.linearg.com/hb

The “Featured Recipe” and “Subscribe to our newsletter” are the images I am talking about. At present, I have added them to the latest post (where all the keyboad-mashing text is appearing), but if I add a new post, that new post will appear at the top, only without the images.

So I was thinking that a better solution would to add the images into the template code rather than add them to the post.

The problem is that the code has a “while” look that gets the latest posts (limited to 2). Obviously if I add the code to the template then the images will appear on both posts. The logical solution would be to have an If statement along the lines of:
If the post is the latest post then show these 2 images.

I just don’t know how to do this, and would appreciate any assistance. I am using the Deep Silent template, and the code for the page is:

<?php get_header(); ?>
    <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
       <div class="content-inside">
	<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
             <tr>
                 <td class="left">
                    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
                      <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                         <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
			<div class="entry1">
			    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
			</div>
                         </div>
                      <?php endwhile; ?>
                    <?php else : ?>
                        <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
                        <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
                          <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                </td>
             </tr>
          </table>
       </div>
     </div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Simon
