How can I show just the most recent post on my home page with jekyll?
jekyll, liquid, liquid-layout, templates, templating
Solution
This can be accomplished through the use of `limit`:
{% for post in site.posts limit:1 %}
... Show the post ...
{% endfor %}
You can also use `limit` and `offset` together to "feature" your most recent post:
<h1>Latest Post</h1>
{% for post in site.posts limit:1 %}
... Show the first post all big ...
{% endfor %}
<h1>Recent Posts</h1>
{% for post in site.posts offset:1 limit:2 %}
... Show the next two posts ...
{% endfor %}
Problem
``` <ul class="entries"> {% for post in paginator.posts %} <li> <a href="{{ post.url }}"> <h3>{{ post.title }}</h3> <p class="blogdate">{{ post.date | date: "%d %B %Y" }}</p> <div>{{ post.content |truncatehtml | truncatewords: 60 }}</div> </a> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> ``` That shows all my posts, I just want to show the most recent.
