Save the code above in your child theme folder, as blog.php, than select it as the page template for the page you want to display your blog on.

You’re done. You can now have your blog on both front page and any other page at the same time.

Besides, you can modify this template to display a different list of posts. Or anything else, really… like custom posts, posts from custom taxonomies, posts from a select number of categories, posts by one or more authors, posts with a specific value in a specific custom post meta, or any combination of the above. And more. Just see query_posts documentation. That’s where all the magic of this template resides.

After you’ve made your query_posts() return the results you want, you need to change the name of the template accordingly, change the name of the file accordingly (there is a naming structure logic for templates in WP, if you want your template to apply automatically to different archives, for example) and select it as page template for the page you want to display the custom list on. Just don’t remove the

&paged='. get_query_var('paged')

part from query_posts(), or you will lose pagination.

Enjoy.
