Show all posts using the template page and the loop?

I am trying to make a template page that would display all posts from all categories, in short – every post added to my website. I was googling around and found out that it can be done by using The Loop. The examples were mainly based on Twenty Eleven which is pretty straight-forward. Unfortunately I am using a complex theme and my understanding of PHP is very little… This the website I am developing: http://www.pomorzekultury.pl/ and this is the template page I would like to “adjust” to display everything: http://pastebin.com/5a8fZ3u6 . I hope some of you will make something of this, because as I said eariler I fail understand what is going on here…;)

Edit: The whole code of this PHP file I would like to work on:

<?php /* Blog Style B */

        $i = 1;

        if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

        $format = get_post_format();
        $cb_meta_onoff = ot_get_option('cb_meta_onoff', 'on');

        $category_data = NULL;

        foreach( ( get_the_category() ) as $category )  {
                        $category_name = $category->cat_name;
                        $category_url = get_category_link($category);
                        $category_data .= '<span class="cb-category"><a href="'.$category_url.'">'.$category_name.'</a></span>';

EDIT No.2:

Maybe listing using archives template would be easier? The archive template loads a view template and the code goes like this:

<?php get_header(); 
$cb_sidebar_position = ot_get_option('cb_sidebar_position', 'cb_sidebar_right'); 
 ?>

<div id="cb-content" class="wrap clearfix">

    <div id="main" class="<?php if ($cb_sidebar_position == 'cb_sidebar_left'){echo 'left-sidebar';} ?>  clearfix" role="main">

        <?php if (is_day()) { ?>
            <h1 class="archive-title">
                <span><?php _e("Daily Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('l, F j, Y'); ?>
            </h1>

        <?php } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
            <h1 class="archive-title">
                <span><?php _e("Monthly Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('F Y'); ?>
            </h1>

        <?php } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
            <h1 class="archive-title">
                <span><?php _e("Yearly Archives:", "cubell"); ?></span> <?php the_time('Y'); ?>
            </h1>
        <?php } ?>

        <?php if (have_posts()) { 

                            get_template_part('cat', 'style-b');
             } ?>

    </div> <!-- end #main -->

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div> <!-- end #cb-content -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

so get_template_part('cat', 'style-b'); is taking care of layout but function/reference to all posts needs to be added… Any ideas? 🙂
