   Hi there,

   I have set the home page to be a page,not a blog. And I've followed the instructions for putting blog posts in non-root folder (blog), but how do I create a link to the blog? I simply added the blog.php file and added the /blog/ to my permalinks, but I want to be able to add a main menu item that takes user to the blog (not just individual posts).

   How do I accomplish this?

   Thanks so much,
   Yael

   I’m not 100% sure but you could make another page and then choose it as the “posts page” in settings. This new page would then be the blog home.

   HI Lari,

   I did think of that, but I want to include the posts on the blog page. In other words, I would need to put the wp code in the page to pull posts and data and I didn't think you could do that on static pages???

   Does that make sense? sorry, this is my first custom WP site, so I'm just learning my way around.

   Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps that is the way to go...

   Yael

   Got it! that was so easy - guess I was expecting something hard.

   I forgot to do this - Log in to WordPress and create a page named "Blog" with Template "blog".

   Yael
