Static Home Page & Post Page

    Ok so I have a static home page. But I also have a blog. My problem is getting a post page to work correctly. bostonstandardplumbing.com is the URL of subject. I have DIY blog and right now I cant seem to get a post page working where it shows, say the most recent 10 post.

    You will notice it is a drop down with post cats, I dont want it to be like this but I have to because I cant get the post page working correctly. I think I am messing the code up for the post page template and is why I cant get it work. Does anyone have the correct code for the post page? Im pretty good at linking templates to headers to style sheets ect, as the whole site has many different headers and css files to work.

    Now the really odd thing is that when I publish the post page it references the correct style sheet (style-archive.css) but when i make it the post page in WP options it then references the wrong style sheet (style.css)… Why would it do this???
    here is my code

    header file
