 * I’ve got a static front page, but would like to get through to the “normal” bloggy
   part of the site. So, I want to have a button called “Blog”, which leads to the
   standard page display page. How can I link to that?
 * Thanks

 * In addition to a static front page, the codex page linked above explains how 
   to make another page a blog page.

 * Thank you, that gets me part-way there. I’ve got the pages created, and the “
   blog” page is displaying my most recent posts. However, the Next and Prev buttons
   at the bottom of the page don’t work. Rather than take me to next page of posts,
   it displays the same posts, but with “&paged=2” at the end of the URL. Any ideas?

 * Sounds like your theme’s index.php template file may have a faulty custom query.

 * Okay, I read through that and double-checked my query, which is:
 * <? query_posts( ‘cat=-8378, -8381’ );?>
 * It was working fine before I added the static page at the front.

       query_posts( 'cat=-8378, -8381&paged=' . $paged );?>
