HOW TO create “Past Posts” section

hi. I use WP 2.8.2 and dfblog, as my theme.

How do I create a section on my main page, below my “Latest Publication”, that arranges my past posts in chronological order, from first to latest?
I’m hoping to have my “Latest Publication” at the top of my Home Page – and directly below that, to have my entire blog from start to finish, so that someone can simply follow it like a book – rather than going to the bottom and reading backwards.

Thanks!
