 * Hi. I’ve looked quite extensively for an answer to this but have had no luck.
 * I’m working on a non-blog (ie, page based) site that uses wordpress as a cms,
   and displays the blog page as a “News and Updates” section. The site has to have
   a custom splash page. I’ve achieved this by using the home.php file in my theme,
   which works fine. But as far as I can tell, the only way of enabling this page
   is to NOT use the “static page” setting in settings/reading in the control panel.
 * My problem is that now I can’t figure out how to display my “posts page”, which
   I had previously set to a “news and updates” page in settings/reading.
 * I’ve been looking at just creating a special-case loop for displaying the posts
   on that page, but it seems like it should be possible to still view the posts
   on a page of my choice.
 * Sorry if I have missed something really obvious.
 * Thanks!
 * -Lee
