I did this work around differently than the above discussion. I can get around WP, but by no means an expert so I’m only explaining what worked for me.

I had my Front page as my blog. Anyone going to my site (www.danmularski.com) would land on my blog with previous posts, however, clicking on “Blog” on my main menu was not listing the posts. It was as mentioned in above comments an “either or” situation. If I switched to having the blog page normal, people landed on my home page which was not what I wanted.

I took the one suggestion and downloaded the plugin “Page Links To” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-links-to/).

Now at the bottom of all my pages is an option to have a normal WP URL or a custom URL. Choose custom.

If you have your blog as your “Front page”, go to the bottom of your Blog page in edit mode, type in http://www.mydomain.com or whatever URL gets you to your front page (which in my case are my blog posts).

Now people typing in my public URL http://www.danmularski.com go right to my blog posts. They also can click on “Blog” on my main menu bar to go back to my blog posts if they have been to other areas of my website. Without the “Page Links To” plugin, they’ll get my blog page w/o any posts.

This worked for me without having to recategorize or add a “dummy” category to all of my posts.
