BuddyPress.org

I’m sure the answer to this is obvious, but: I have the default BuddyPress theme, with Activity, Groups, Forum, and Members tabs. How can I have a normal tab for just a normal (sitewide) WordPress blog? Basically my organization is going to use BuddyPress for social networking, but would also like to have a plain-vanilla WordPress blog integrated into it that we can use to make announcements.

It seems like when we installed BuddyPress, the “normal” WordPress posts/comments went away. I can hardlink to them but they’re not in the navigation anymore. Where did they go and how can we get them to come back to part of the site navigation?

Thanks!
