   Hi all,
   I have a latest posts page as my front page set through the reading options setting in the dashboard.
   That is what I would like to have as my "Home Page" but WordPress seems counter-intuitive.
   I would like a link to this front page in my page menu, I created a page and named it "home" just to get the word to appear in my menus and now I need to make it link to http://example.com and not http://example.com/?page=foo.
   Can someone tell me where to hack the code to change this? Which file(s) are the links in?

   Any help would be appreciated.

   Michael

   use page links to plugin

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/

   after u activate this, go to the "Home" page edit view. at the bottom of the post, you can give the redirect link to your site home page. so people click this and land in your home page.

   I'm glad you got this working, but:

   (1) Your latest posts page, using your index.php theme file, should be your home page by default; you shouldn't have to change anything under Settings > Reading to achieve this.

   (2) You should be able to add a "Home" link to your Page list without creating an extra Page or using a plugin, e.g. by using wp_page_menu().

   Not that there's a problem with the solution that you've ended up with, but for others trying to do the same thing it won't necessarily be the best solution.
