Link to latest posts

I actually had the same question. I have a static page on the root site, but I want a link that says something like “Click here for the blog” and it will take you to the posts…how do I do that?

Thanks.

you could link to the author archive if you are the only author?

https://yoursitename.com/?p=*

Yeah, but badaas, how do you link dynamically to the latest post. Not the post list, but the single of the latest post. Further, how would you link dynamically to the last post in a given category?

Try this:

<a href="https://yoursitename/?page_id=*">Latest Posts</a>

Go back to the admin page where you selected your “static frontpage” and take a closer look: there is also an option to select ANOTHER Page as your “posts page”. Did you do that?
The link to that Page will be your link to the latest posts.
