Also, this uses `$last_article` since that is what you asked about. You’ll notice on the default homepage, that the rest of the articles are simply referenced by `$article`, so if you copy the code further down the page, don’t forget to make that change. (There is some documentation on this, but I’m afraid it’s out of date! Must check…) Let us know how it goes!
