Was there ever a solution to this? I have the same issue – I’d like to have a static homepage (which I’ve set up using home.php – no problems there), and I’d also like a page within the site that contains posts.
I’m doing a B&B website, and the owner would like to post recipes as blog posts so that visitors can comment on them – obviously not home page material. Everything I had read about home.php, seemed to imply that it was still possible to use posts within the site, but I can’t find any information about how to do that.
