latest posts menu item

I’m tearing my hair out trying to get WordPress to give me a menu item to go to “latest posts.” They come up on the frontpage, but once I navigate away, I want a menu item to get back there. It seems so obvious, but several hours later, the best I could do was create a custom menu with a link to “uncategorised” as a workaround. There MUST be a better way! And this way, I get a box saying “Archive of posts filed under the Uncategorized category. ” Not wanted!

I’m sure most blogs I’ve seen do this automatically – click on “home” and you’re back to the homepage with the most recent posts on it. What am I missing here? For some reason I can’t set frontpage and posts page the same on settings>reading. I feel like giving up. Such a basic thing and a whole day wasted!

Please help!

Kind regards,

Robin.
