Not sure if it is the most elegant way but the easiest is probably to create a shortcode that displays a single page, and then set that page to display as the front page. e.g. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-content-shortcodes/
Create an author.php template by copying your themes archive template to start with. Then you can modify it as you wish.

I think you’re muddling up the Template Hierarchy, so make sure to start by reading that. page-blog-page.php is for a page with the slug “blog-page.” If you’re using a page template, then you should name it something outside of the template hierarchy-reserved name spaces (e.g. page-{slug}, etc.) such as template-swapnesh.php. Also, WordPress has the blog … Read more

I think this approach will work. 1.create template for single post like singlepost.php( default single post template),singlepost-99.php,singlepost-101.php. 2.now put just this code in single.php <?php global $post; get_template_part(‘singlepost’,$post->ID); ?> what this code does check for single post template for current post by post id if not found call singlepost.php. Important Link: get_template_part()

The function is edit_post_link() (see Codex or source). In TwentyEleven it used as follows in content.php edit_post_link( __( ‘Edit’, ‘twentyeleven’ ), ‘<span class=”edit-link”>’, ‘</span>’ ); You can simply use the function as indicated above (or in the Codex) in a custom template, but it must be used inside the loop. There’s no need to perform … Read more
