-
Create a new page and put feed manager on it - give it the same page name as the blog page if you like though it must have a slightly different url
-
Add the feed url for the blog in the feed manager and verify it shows your blog posts
-
go to page settings for the page that has the blog on it and set "Include In Menu" and "Include in Site Map" to false
-
move the feed manager page into the same place in the site hierarchy where the blog was
that should work, then you can add other feeds to pull in fresh posts.
Hope it helps,
Joe
