  In the settings section, I have chosen to have only one (the most current) post displayed. However, this seems to affect my archived posts as well…they are only listing one at a time. I’d like to have my most current post as the only one displayed on the front page, but when people want to look for archives, I’d prefer them to see a list of posts. Can anyone help? Thanks!

  you could create a archive page and manually set up a archive
  by manually adding the links to your post on the archive page

  that will be labor intensive since i plan to post often…any other ideas? it seems to me the archiving would/should be controlled separate from how many blogs are to be displayed on the front page.

  It is connected that way for everything at WP.com. There is no workaround of which I am aware except what Teck has suggested, and several people do exactly that.

  The mistylook theme has an archive page template (not to mention a built-in contact page template) which works quite nicely, but you would have to switch to mistylook.

  Come to think of it, so does Monotone, although that’s a very specialized theme.
