How do I make a WordPress Page act like the default home page displaying multiple posts?

I basically want a WordPress “Page” that acts just like the home page and loops through recent posts and displays them. How do I do this?

  1. If you go to Settings->Reading and then for “Front Page Shows” select static page, and then select a page from the dropdown, then edit the source code for this file to include a standard WP loop like –

    <?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <h2><?php the_title() ?><h2>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
