    Hi there,

    I don’t see any site linked to this account. It would be helpful if you provide the site URL.

    Based on my understanding, I believe you wish to display entire latest post, summaries of next 10 posts and archive rest of the posts.
    I will try to help you with this. My solution is based on the assumption that your site is hosted with WordPress.com.

    1. Your latest post will always show up first so you don’t have to do anything for that.

    2. To display summaries of next 10 posts, edit the post and add summary text in Excerpt section under Post Settings > More Options.

    3. I don’t see a way to get archives listed below the latest posts. However, you can create another page for archives. Use [archives] shortcode along with the parameters and get archives of posts you wish. Refer the document link below:

    You can also use Archive Widget on Homepage. This way all your posts will be listed on Homepage.

    Let me know if you need further help.
