Using WP 3.1.1 as a CMS, using the Boldy theme.
Home page is at http://www.dekho.com.au
Advantage of using this theme, is that it comes setup with a homepage that has a gallery slider and some homeboxes at the bottom.
To get to the blog, I had to dump all my posts into a category called blog.
– The themes docco advises to do this]3.
I can then link to this blog category from the top menu.
This then passes me to this URL:
http://www.dekho.com.au/?category_name=blog
I want to know how to retain the home page provided by Boldy, but have the blog on a separate page with the following URL:
dekho.com.au/blog

Method 1
First, you need to change your Front Page settings:
1) Create a Static Page, called “Blog” (and a slug of “blog”)
2) Create another Static Page, to serve as your site Front Page
3) Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading
4) Change “Front Page Displays” from “Your latest posts” to “A static Page (select below)”
5) In the “Front Page” dropdown, select the Static Page that you created to serve as your site Front Page
6) In the “Posts Page” dropdown, select the Static Page “Blog”
Next, you need to fix your permalinks:
1) Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks
2) Select one of the default options (“Month and Name” is usually good)
3) Save settings, to write the rewrite rules to .htaccess
Now dekho.com.au/blog should be displaying your blog posts index
