Thanks, you have shared great info in here.
But I have problem …. in my blog i’ve made template like you explain above but in order to showing my Guiding Page … Here it is:

138 && get_option(‘thumbnail_crop’) == 1) {
the_post_thumbnail(array(138,138));
echo “”;
}else{
the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’);
echo “”;
}
endif;
?>
in category

<?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '’); ?>

Thank you – this was a simple approach and it worked simply perfectly! One caution – if you copy-and-paste the code for ‘show posts’, the font on this site uses curly quotes for the first one and it will break the page. So make sure you have straight quotes on this line:

Thanks for the helpful post!

your article was very helpful and I now have my about page as my static page (homepage) and created my blog page which holds all my posts but do have one problem with it.

all post are shown in full and not in a summary which is what I want to have. I’ve tried in “settings> reading to change it but found out that the changing it there will only work for your rss feed.

Can you please help me with this and email the resolution to me.

many thanks
Martin
