How to link dynamically to most recent post from static page?

I use a static page as my front page, and I want to use an "entry" link to take users directly to the most recent post, as though I had linked directly to the post. I tried linking straight to ../uncategorized and this would work except for the layout gets all wonky (unwanted category title at top of page, and post headlines are using H2 format which is no good). I can't find any customization for the presentation of "category view".

I need to know how to either:
A. Link to <most recent post> by url (like %latestpost% or something?)
-or-
B. Customize the presentation of the posts in my uncategorized category (which will be all of them, I don't use categories)
