			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In WordPress Administration under Options-&gt;Reading, there is an option to set a &#8220;Front page&#8221; and &#8220;Posts page.&#8221; The front page setting is fairly straightforward. If you do not want your latest blog posts (index.php) as your homepage, you can set a static page and its template as the root page (http://www.example.com/). This is great for an under construction page, too.</p>
<p><strong>Posts Page</strong></p>
<p>What is a post page? If you have disabled the default homepage (explained above) and made it a static template page, then where are your latest posts? They are on this page.</p>
<p>1) Create a page (Write&gt;Write Page) and make the &#8220;Page Slug&#8221; on the sidebar whatever URL slug you want to be the location of your posts. I recommend making it be the same as your custom structure (Options&gt;Permalinks, e.g. &#8211; &#8220;blog&#8221; as in &#8220;/blog/%postname%/&#8221;).</p>
<p>2) Go to this Options-&gt;Reading and in the drop down box for &#8220;Posts Page&#8221; you can now choose your newly created page (e.g.- &#8220;Blog&#8221;).</p>
<p>The contents of this page (i.e.- &#8220;Blog&#8221;) will never really be accessible. Now if the user goes to &#8220;http://www.example.com/blog&#8221; then they will see the latest posts instead of an error.</p>
