Hi-
You can set any front page as your front page under "site information".
Just make sure the page exists.
It is in the section where you set the site name and other basic
information.
Once you activate the blog module, you should have a menu option in
navigation for blog.
You can also create your own menu item and link it to blog.
I think the path should be yoursite/blogs or yoursite/blog

Hi,

I have another question. I want my frontpage to be a static page, and
to put a ' Blog'  link in the main menu which will take me to the blog
part where articles are posted. How can I accomplish this? Isn't it
true that posted stuff defaults to the frontpage?

Regards,
Florian
