Hi Sharon,
I am afraid I cannot answer your question, but would appreciate any tips on how you set up you blog page as your home page, as this is what I am trying to do right this second…
Kind Regards
Paul
Hi Paul
I referred to the following link to set up my static homepage:
http://www.wordpressmax.com/customize-wordpress/custom-page
There is a detailed step-by-step ‘how to’ video. The example uses an older version of wordpress but the principle remains the same.
You can set your ‘front page display’ to ‘a static page’ via the ‘settings’ tab in the dashboard in the latest version of wordpress.
Hope this helps.
RE: My original problem. Whoops sorry. I totally forgot to post the link to the blog site I’m developing!

Hope somebody can shed some light on this matter…
Can I supply more information for help on this matter?
Sharon, I think this problem is less complicated than it seems to be.
Rather than using the before mentioned script, you can simply set 1 page to act a “front-page” and have your posts appear in another page (blog).
Check the following in the codex: Using a Page as the front page
I think that that gives the needed solution!
Hi ipears
Thanks for the reply…
I am aware of these settings. However, even if I set it to ‘Your latest posts’ setting it STILL shows the static page that I had previously set it to. Could this be something to do with the static page file name being home.php?
I’m also convinced that whilst creating the static homepage (creating my own templates), Ive written over some vital page in the root that is required to run the blog (containing the loop). As I am newish to wordpress, I’m a little lost with the situation…Help 🙂
