How might I display only the latest blog entry in, say, my index.php (as opposed to the pageList.php, etc)?

Would the following or some version of work?

$options['where'] = 'fieldname = 'date DESC';

TIA! soj

Close, you don't need the fieldname = part though. So it looks like this, and if you only want the latest (1 entry) we'll add a setting for that as well:

$options['orderBy'] = 'date DESC';
$options['perPage'] = '1'; // show 1 record
$options['pageNum'] = '1'; // from first page only
$options['where'] = '1'; // to ignore search options

Let me know if that works for you.
