I've been trying to find a solution online for this;
I'm showing only a single post on my index page,
therefore I want my archives.php to function as index.php would normally do.
I'm using wp_query and the Post Image Plug-in
and only want to show the title and one image for each post.
How do I go about this, should I be using something else than wp_query?
(I'm using wordpress 2.7)

One way would be to make sure archives.php is a page template (e.g. has the appropriate Template: tag in the top of the file somewhere), then make a page in WP, select the page template to be your archives template, then configure WP to use a static home page and set the static home page to be the page you created. That's it in a nutshell.

So in 'Reading settings'
Front displays a static page:
Front page: a page that shows only one post
Posts page: a page that shows several posts, like index.php would normally do
Is wordpress able to process both these requests or only one of them?
