   How do I display only the most recent post on my main page?

   At the moment, my posts list from newest at the top to oldest towards the bottom but i only want to display the last, most recent post on the front of my wordpress blog. Is this possible?

   Any help is much appreciated!

   On the main index page - index.php - you can add

   <?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?>

   right before

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   and only the most recent post will be displayed.

   Hi,

   You can use recent posts widget/plugin into your blog display the desired number of recent posts.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
