 * hi,
 * i am using Static Front Page plugin to define a static page as startpage. but
   i can’t figure out where and how to display the post of my blog. i think everybody
   who is using the plugin has to deal the same problem.
 * [http://www.wds-institut.de/test/](http://www.wds-institut.de/test/) under news
   you should find all posts (ingnore the insert feed at the top, at the bottom 
   under “news” is the place for the posts. i applied the “standard page template”(
   which is usually used for showing the posts on the index.php) to the “news” page.
   but it does’nt work.
 * would be awesome if somebody could save me to going nuts. 🙂
 * thanks
    frank

 * Frank,
    For my purposes, Static Front Page plugin didn’t work on my blog as well.
   Try [Home Page Control Plugin](http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/home-page-control/),
   I am using it for several weeks and it works like a charm. By the way, I’ve heard
   that WP 2.1 will offer the option to use a specific page as static front page,
   but since it is not yet released I recommend using Home Page Control 😉

 * I have – with success – made my own static front page using the guide at
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page)
 * But this creates an additional question:
    The miniloop in the site above only
   creates post headlines, but I would like to have the 5 blog entries shown at 
   length. I’m sure it’s possible with a little knowledge of php, but since I do
   not have that and since I’m sure somebody else has done it before – I ask you.
 * Thanks much in advance.
