blog question

[AHarvey]

Looking for some blog software that I can run on some webspace I have available to me.

However, I really want to be able to have the first post be the most up to date, but then I want it to run in chronological order from the very first post.

IE:

NEWEST POST
>
FIRST POST
>
SECOND POST

etc

That way new people to the blog can read everything from the start but older subscribers can read the newest blog straight away without having to scroll through loads of pages!

once you get loads of posts on there, that's going to be SO annoying. With most blog software, you can view by monthly archive so they can just go back to the first month you posted anything. Use Wordpress, everyone else does.

Agreed. That is the strangest way I've ever heard of to order posts.

If you really wanted to do it you'd need two queries.

cute news can do this, you can set up 2 php includes, 1 include for the most recent post and one for posts in order, put these includes one after the other and that should get your desired setup.

To be honest that's a non-starter. It'd be too confusing for people. What if you want to read the last 3 posts?
