    Hi,
    I'm using Monotone theme, site is <a href="http://photoblog.ie">.
    I have a set homepage.
    In my navigation menu (in header) I want to add 'recent', which will link to the most recent post.

    At the moment I have to update the code each time I add a new post so +1 to the archive number-
    <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/archives/1545/">recent</a></li>

    Thanks,
    Patrick.

    This should work for you: 
    <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=1'); ?>
<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li class="page_item"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

    (Can probably be optimised a bit more to remove while loop).

    HTH.
