I found out how to make a Page a "static page" so it remains the home/opening page in the blog, step one. I am unable to have the Posts appear under this. What do I need to do?

I even found this @ http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page but I get lost when it mentions permalinks and does not show what I should do.

I'm unclear as to what you want to do - a static page with the posts??
If you want a blog page and a static landing page, create two pages, call one 'landing' and the other 'myblog'. Then at the wordpress dashboard->settings->reading->Front page displays - select 'A static page (select below)' and make the frontpage 'landing' and posts page 'myblog'.

Now you have a static page and a blog page (you can call them whatever you want - they don't have to be landing and myblog)

Is this what you are looking for?

One solution to your problem could be to create a static page and include the anchor for the bloginblog plugin to add the posts you want included.

Yes I want a static page then the "Post" to appear under that.
Like this web site has @ http://www.tomguilmette.com/wp/

If you look at the source, you will find out that this is a static page where he is updating the page with information and each section is set in a block quote.

You could also have a sticky post (always is at the top) followed by your regular posts. You could style the sticky different than the rest of the posts.

I will try the sticky method. Sorry not code savy, it is all Greek to me.

An alternate solution similar to the sticky is to use the Blog Introduction plugin.

It works fine with Atahualpa.
