Use a custom page template for your front page. And don’t call it home.php.
For your posts page news use the (default) page.php. Or create a custom template for that. If in this template there is the_excerpt() change it to the_content()
ok, I have a custom page for the news (blog posts), news.php.
In the WP control panel > pages > I have my page called news. I have it set to use the template In the News (news.php).
When I put any content in the news WP page, it shows in the body.. but no posts.
When I remove the content, I get the posts, but loose the body formatting from my template.
In my template page code, do I need to identify that I want to get my blog posts? It seems to only grab my page content instead. unless I remove the content.
Thanks!
Can you put the code of your news.php in the pastebin and a give a link to it
Im running it on a local MAP server, but code I am using is below. Thanks!

<!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
