I would like to have a single post on my front page (always the latest), but let normal paging work. So the front page has post 1, the next page should have post 2-11 (1-10 is fine too), then 12-21 or 11-20, and so on. I know I can [change the number of posts depending on the context][1], but setting this to "1" on the homepage means the further pages also show only one post.

My main problem is that `/page/2/` and so on works, but `/page/1/` always redirects to the real home page, `/`. This means posts 2-10 are always skipped, since page 2 shows 11-20. I [currently][2] solve this by linking to my archive, but this is not ideal when you come to [the first posts of the year][3] and there are fewer posts and no obvious way of continuing.
