Single post on page?

[LinCSS25]

Can anyone share with me how to set up my home page so that it only shows one post of my blog (the most recent post) with a continue reading link… What code to I change to do that? What I want is to have ONLY the most recent post on my home page then have a link in the navigation for Blog.. then that page would show the whole blog list.. however many post I allow to be shown on a page. Does that make sense?

So I guess I need to know how to do both. how to I make another page show the whole blog rather than the home page, but have the home page show just one most recent post.

as an example I kind of like how this guy set his up, he put the rest of his posts in an archive.

Thanks

You might want to try a query_posts. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

You can save this as your home.php and set wordpress to display this as a static home page.

Example:

Code:
