Ok, hopefully this will help someone help me, I will post the pages.
This is the index.php. It has the code that appears to work properly when in the blog format.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
<div class="span-16">
<div id="content">
<?php if(is_home()|| is_front_page()) { include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured.php'); } ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2 class="title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="postdate">Posted by <strong><?php the_author() ?></strong> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php if (current_user_can('edit_post', $post->ID)) { ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); } ?></div>
<div class="entry">
<?php if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(200,160), array('class' => 'alignleft post_thumbnail')); } ?>
<?php the_content(''); ?>
<div class="readmorecontent">
<a class="readmore" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read More »</a>
</div>
</div>
</div><!--/post-<?php the_ID(); ?>-->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<?php if(function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); } else { ?>
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebars(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Next is the page.php. This seems to load the data with the code supplied by chinmoy but doesn't appears to run the script int the featured.php included below.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">
<div class="span-16">
<div id="content">
<?php if(is_page('Birthday Cake Designs')) { include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured.php'); } ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail(array(300,225), array('class' => 'alignleft post_thumbnail')); } ?>
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page »</p>'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebars(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I know I'm being a pest but this is the last thing I need to modify on my website before I start marketing it, any help would be greatly appriciated.
