 * Ok, the point really was to :
 * 1. Make a static page your home page, and possibility to change it content from
   admin panel.
    2. Get a fancy link to back to your blog with all your posts, like
   you get it usually without hacks or plugins. This link have to be in pages list
   automatically.
 * Of course i used home.php functionality in my hack. But sorry for all – my hack
   not works properly 🙁 Try to reach next page if you have more than 10 posts and
   you will get 404 error.
 * lawtai have a good solution, but i don’t know why it not works for me (i always
   have 404 error when try to get my posts, and even if it’s working – i have to
   manually add link to blog to menu. It’s simple but i’m lazy :).
 * Now i’m trying the way with plugins – Ryan’s Page to Front, and [Owen’s](http://www.asymptomatic.net/archives/2005/03/22/1413/redirectify-plugin/)
   Redirectify.
 * Will see….

 * i just rounding there about this topic and find some parallel threads.
 * I think the last have no advantages, my method have a points :
    1. you can style
   your homepage as you want 2. you get a news page already styled like usual blog(
   by copying index.php you copy all stuff) Abd you don’t need change permalinks
   and other thing.
 * 🙂 i just reflect on all this (this is my first post and i little bit verbose
   🙂
    and sorry for my english, i m from Uzbekistan

 * Here is my solution :
 * 1. Copy page.php -> home.php
    2. Add query_posts(“page_id=2”); (where page_id
   is your page) before the Loop 3. Copy index.php -> news.php and add at the top
   <?php /* Template Name: News */ ?> And add query_posts(“showposts=10”); before
   the Loop 4. Make a page named News and assign template News to it
 * All works fine, i think. At least for me. And all pages in sidebar lists automatically.
   
   Basicaly it’s the same solution as above, but there is no need to change permalinks
   and adresses.
 * Is there any bugs or minuses ?

 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Using_a_Page_as_the_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Using_a_Page_as_the_Front_Page)
 * Just install Ryan’s plugin and make a page with Archives template 😉

 * Yes, disable plugin, because when it’s working, it’s using page.php instead home.
   php
 * Next, check yor preferences, may be you changed the permalink structure and blog
   address and wordpress address in Options, i have both “[http://mysite&#8221](http://mysite&#8221);

 * Hmm, can’t say what’s wrong, i’m not guru in php
    Did the page “News” listed 
   in pages list ? First 2 steps makes the static page your home page. Is it works?
   Next 2 steps assigns template to your page (name is not important – News, Blog,
   bla bla bla) wich can contain whatever – the posts re-query from database with
   your argumens (“showposts=10” in this case) May be it helps to you.
