How to display only one post?

HI,

I want be able to show one post that i just wrote. So whenever i write a post in WP , the post will go full on my main blog page , and if i write another, the blog before will go to archives, as i do believe they do go there anyways.

So if i write a post, it will display only it self on the main blog page. If i write another, it will disapear . I have recent post and archive but i want only one post to display on my page per time. Later one i will have a page where i will display all blogs .

<?php
/**
 * Template part for displaying posts.
 *
 * @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
 *
 * @package Myself
 */

?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
    <header class="entry-header">




        <?php if ( 'post' === get_post_type() ) : ?>

        <div id="main-column">

                <div class="author-img">

Have you tried looking at get_posts and setting the posts_per_page parameter to 1? For more information the codex provides excellent examples and documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
