Starkers theme blog or posts page not working

Hi All,

I’m betting there is a really simple answer to this question as it’s probably just something I don’t understand about Starkers.

I’ve built a site using Starkers using Pages sucessfully and that also uses a “home.php” file for the static front page. Now I want to add a “Blog” page. I created a page named “Blog” and used the “Settings > Reading” submenu to set the “Posts” page to my page named “Blog”. But instead, my new Blog page is identical to my Home page instead of showing my posts.

I also tried creating a “blog.php” template containing the loop from the index.php page and selecting it as the default template for my new Blog page but the result is the same.

Does anyone know why this is or have a suggestion for me as to how to get my new Blog page to show posts and not the front page?

Many thanks in advance! -c-
