@r-a-y So close… I followed the instructions:
1) Login to the WP backend, navigate to “Pages > Add New”. Create an empty, new page called “News” or “Blog” or whatever you want. This page will contain the blog updates.
2) Under “Settings > Reading”, set front page to “Activity Stream” and your posts page to the new page that you just created.

Using: Default BP Theme
Front page shows “Activity Sream” but the new “Blog” page I created shows a normal page similar in format to the About page, not the blog’s latest posts.

Page attributes:
Parent > Main Page (no parent)
Template > Default Template
