Comment (by 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. :)
