  I’m new to blogging and am a bit confused – a lot confused actually. Am I correct in thinking that if I set the home/welcome page as a static page that I’ve lost my blog page?

  No, it’s not lost, it’s just bumped to second place. It’s a bad idea, though, if visibility matters to you. Static pages as entry pages slaughter your Google Juice.

  Your main blog page is not lost, PROVIDED you create a Posts page (see the FAQ on static front).
