 Replying to [comment:137 folletto]:
 > I personally think that '''the "blog" page should be virtual, not a real
 page''': it's exactly the same thing as the archives page, just that
 instead of being filtered by month, it's the latest posts. The option
 there would be the ability to change its name.

 > Doing that, will avoid having a "page" hanging around that is really
 used for the URL only, and confuses users by showing up in the page
 hierarchy with actual content apparently editable.
 >
 > This will reduce also the need of such a double dropdown, since the only
 thing one will have to select is "what do you want to show on the
 homepage?", a single list, a single check, much much more intuitive. :)

 '''Very much agree with this. '''
