 > I think what threw me was how it ignores the the template and the
 content for the page with the slug "blog." Does it not seem
 counterintuitive?

 I can see where you're coming from.. And its a bit strange at first for
 some. Another way to look at it, is that its not a page, Its a Static
 place holder.

 Pages can have templates applied to them, Templates are often used to
 ignore the content of the page and serve something different.

 But the main advantage of having the 'Blog' place holder page, is that it
 then appears in all the Page menu's, Theres no hacking to add it in, it
 just works..

 If you dont want to have a speciic "Blog" page, then you can simply set a
 static front page, and leave the Blog page blank, That requires that your
 theme lists the posts somewhere for you though, as you no longer have a
 "posts" page, which comes in handy for situations where the website has a
 custom "News" secion built into it, such as a sidebar widget or a footer.

 I'm going to leave this open for now with with some dev-feedback, The
 method works, but do other dev's think it could be made easier perhaps?
 (Seting to future release pending change suggestions or closure)
