Creating Static & Dynamic Pages

Dear WP experts,
I am new to WP and am in the process of cutting up my traditional html static site into php’s for WP. So far so good, but I have hit a wall. I would like my landing page to be a traditional home page that is static. I would like to only have my blog on the blog page within my site.
My url is http://www.scottsword.com I have set up a basic sprite nav menu and as of right now I want a separate blog.php to embedded my loop.

Problem:
I don’t know how to link the <link href=””> in my sprite ul to the blog.php I have uploaded. I have tried hardcoding the url (which hasn’t been working either), but I need to know how to set up my sprite to not only take me from the main page to other static pages (about me, resume, etc.), but I need to know how to link to the blog portion of my website.

Any help/advice would be awesome!!!!
