Struggling with Custom Blog Page

Hi there,

I’m still struggling a bit with my custom blog page.

I’d like this to be the index page of my site.

Hence, I have tried to set the preferences in the WordPress Reading section to my Latest Posts instead of Static Page. But with this setting, my custom blog page won’t come up, but my first blog post instead.

I have tried to work with the Static Page setting as well, because the custom blog page, in my view is essentially a static page, but then I would have to define a Home page, as well.

In the Enfold Theme Options, I’ve left the Frontpage settings unselected, because then, the blog page should come up, but again, it won’t, just some page showing my first blog page.

Also, where can I customize the blog post template; so, that footer and socket settings will be applied in uniform with the rest of my site?

Can you help? Where am I going wrong here?

Many thanks
