# CMS first, blog second

 * For my client’s web site WordPress has served only as a content management system(
   where the home page is a static page). Now the client wants to add a blog to 
   this site. How do I set WordPress up so [http://www.domain.com/blog](http://www.domain.com/blog)
   is the URL for the blog and it points to a index of the latest blog posts (i.
   e., the default WordPress behavior)?
 * Thanks in advance
 * P.S. – Using custom content type plugins is not an option – sticking to WordPress’
   built-in features and configuration to accomplish the above is preferred.

 * Create a Page template for the Page “blog”: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)
   
   And use query_posts on this Page template to show only “blog” posts: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts)
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query)
 * Example of a Page of Posts depending on a Custom Field:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#A_Page_of_Posts)
   You can alter it to just query for posts with a category “blog”
 * Or create a static front Page and a Posts Page:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
