i've read a bunch of forum posts about this issue and none of them have seemed to help me. i have a blog that is currently set to display five posts per page (through reading settings). i would like to have the front page look exactly like all the other blog pages, except only display ONE post (the most recent post). i would like the other pages to still display FIVE (i.e. when you click on "older posts" a page will come up with the five posts prior to the last post, etc.).
if i change settings in the reading options on wordpress.org, all the pages are effected. i have read the query_posts article in the codex over and over again to no avail. it even alludes to using it to put "display only a single post or page on your homepage" but nowhere explicitly tells you how to do this.
do i have to create a static page to deal with this? what about a home.php file? these are things i think might help, but i do not know exactly how to execute them.
please help!
