Actually, correction of above instructions. I did not attach the index.php template directly to the Blog page. I created a template called blog.php as per the instructions here.

Scroll down to “Making your blog appear in a non-root folder”:

< ?php
/*
Template Name: Blog
*/
?>
< ?php query_posts(‘cat=-0’); //gets all posts load_template( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/index.php’); //loads index ?>

Again, I was able to accomplish exactly what I (and apparently you, swinton) was trying to accomplish using the Static Front Page plugin.

I found a solution but it does not involve Static Front Page. I’m using Get-A-Post ( http://tinyurl.com/qyqsj).

Create a page called Home and attach a template called home.php like this:

< ?php
/*
Template Name: home
*/
?>

< ?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

< ?php get_a_post(‘5’); ?>

< ?php the_content(); ?>

</div>

< ?php get_sidebar(); ?>

< ?php get_footer(); ?>

Then create a page called Blog and attach the index.php for a template.

Note: I had a problem and had to edit the plugin. See my comments at the above link.
