If showing custom homepage (Nelo) how to show posts on another page?

Not ignoring you. Just haven;t used the theme myself.

My guess is that you select the page you want the posts on in the backend: Settings -> Reading (where you select the static frontpage, the other dropdown is for a posts page).

don't know if it's the same with the normal wp, but the last time I tried this (wp2.7) it automatically picked the archive.php template to display the posts

"if I chose the option to show the custom homepage how do I show posts?"

A couple of ways - you could either use a page template that operates much like the blog homepage template, or you could put your posts into a category and point to the category page (that's less than ideal but what I set up for this a while back: http://edublogawards.com )

I'm sure everyone else knew this, but I finally got it figured. I did this on the Triden Theme which is almost identical to the Nelo Theme. To create a page template to list your posts when using the custom homepage option:

1. Open the index.php, save it to your desktop as posts-page.php (or some other template name you like).
2. Add the following to the beginning of the code (this creates a template page);

<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?>

3. Just before the line "<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>" add this one line of code "<?php query_posts('show_posts=5'); ?>" (5=the number of post to show) so that it looks like this;

<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="post-entry">

<?php query_posts('show_posts=5'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

4. Leave the rest of the code intact. Save and upload to the theme folder.
5. Create a new page called "My Blog" (or something else you like) and select "Posts Page" under Template.
6. No other page content needed.
6. Publish page.

Simple, but works for me as a newbie. Also gives you the sidebar. Any suggestions or better ways would be welcome.
