By default in most themes, the front page lists your most recent posts in date order. If this is not suitable for your site, you will need to add a custom query to your theme’s index.php template file before the Loop.

Hi thanks for that. I am still a little stuck though.
I believe I have found the loop which is shown below, I have tried a few different queries but they do not want to work? Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post_<?php echo $odd_or_even; ?>”>
<div class=”post clearfix”>
<div class=”post_content_wrapper”>
<h2 class=”post_title”>“><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”post_content”>
<?php the_content(__(‘Read more’, ‘monochrome’)); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<dl class=”post_meta”>
<dt class=”meta_date”><?php the_time(‘Y’) ?></dt>
<dd class=”post_date”><?php the_time(‘m’) ?><span>/<?php the_time(‘d’) ?></span></dd>
<?php if ($options[‘author’]) : ?>
<dt><?php _e(‘POSTED BY’,’monochrome’); ?></dt>
<dd><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></dd>
<?php endif; ?>
<dt><?php _e(‘CATEGORY’,’monochrome’); ?></dt>
<dd><?php the_category(‘
‘); ?></dd>
<?php if ($options[‘tag’]) : ?>
<?php the_tags(__(‘<dt>TAGS</dt><dd>’,’monochrome’),’
‘,'</dd>’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<dt class=”meta_comment”><?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Write comment’, ‘monochrome’), __(‘1 comment’, ‘monochrome’), __(‘% comments’, ‘monochrome’)); ?></dt>
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘[ EDIT ]’, ‘monochrome’), ‘<dd>’, ‘</dd>’ ); ?>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<?php $odd_or_even = (‘odd’==$odd_or_even) ? ‘even’ : ‘odd’; ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<div class=”post_odd”>
<div class=”post clearfix”>
<div class=”post_content_wrapper”>
<?php _e(“Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”,”monochrome”); ?>
</div>
<div class=”post_meta”>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
