OK I can’t believe how thick I was being.

There are 2 settings, one for the front page – make this a wordpress page that you have populated with your landing page content.

The second is for a “Posts page: “. Create any old empty page using the wordpress editor. I created a totally empty page called “blog”. Select this – voila – you have a blog URL and a CMS for a web site.

Here is a screengrab – so you don’t have to be as thick as I was.

What does one put in the Blog Page for it to work – or does the template take care of it for us (if it is written correctly …)

ke ? an empty page called news becomes your rolling blogpage ?

The steelydane:

what exactly did you put in your /blog page ? I have tried the same thing at https://rosacea-support.org but cannot get a /blog page or link or redirect to go to my posts without cheating and linking to https://rosacea-support.org/?page=1 instead.

Sorry, but this is a me-too. I have tried various hacks to be able to have a static front page and still have my posts available via a nice /blog/ url.

My workaround is to have a link on every page called /blog, but it redirects to https://rosacea-support.org/?page=1 which then behaves like a blog, leading to https://rosacea-support.org/page/2?page=1 and so on. The URL ends up looking weir with the /page/N?page=1 but it gets the job done.

I’d love to know how to do this properly with wordpress.

Aaaaand I’ll answer my own post by saying that you just go to Settings -> Miscellaneous and you can set the thumbnail and medium sizes there !

very nice indeed.

I’d like to know if this is possible too, but so far I haven’t found a way to do it.

OK, replying to my own post here as no-one seems to read this forum ????

you can also get straight to your blog by using

https://example.com/?page=1

and that is all you need, yeehah.

I see you have asked the same question as me. I would love to be able to include some widged on selected posts but can’t see how to do it. I’d love to have the akismet stats and WP_Meta stuff, but don’t want it polluting every page on my blog – that seems like overkill and just confusing to my visitors.

macbrink, I don’t understand your .htaccess solution and would like to know more before I change my .htaccess in case of a security problem.

The Google Sitemaps plugin is definitely causing this problem in my WP install as well, so a better solution than deactivating the plugin every time I want to delete a post would be nice.

I have put what I think is a solution to this problem here
https://my.opera.com/djp/blog/2007/07/02/maintain-permalinks-moving-from-new-blogger-to-wordpress-2-0

my slightly hacky solution requires just 2 lines to be added to blogger.php.
