I just implemented a latest blog post link in Markata by asking for the first post slug from the blog feed. The implementation uses the jinja_md plugin to render jinja against the markdown and a tag to redirect.

[code]
  My latest blog post is [[ {{ markata.feeds.blog.posts[0].slug }} ]].  Click the
  link if you are not automatically redirected.

  <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url='/{{ markata.feeds.blog.posts[0].slug }}'" />

Setting up the feed
───────────────────

Feeds are setup in markata.toml configuration. They provide a handy way to create an html </html/> feed, rss feed, and quickly reference a filtered set of posts like this.

[code]
  # you will need to enable the jinja_md plugin along with the defaults
  [markata]
  hooks = [
      "markata.plugins.jinja_md",
      "default",
      ]

  # set up the blog feed
  [[markata.feeds]]
  slug = 'blog'
  template = "feed.html"
  filter = "date<=today and templateKey in ['blog-post'] and published"
  sort = "date"
  reverse = true
