"The home page displays content from this relative URL. If unsure, specify "node"."

I'm changing the front page from the default www.url.com/node. I would still like to use the /node directory for a blog. How would I add a page title to the /node page? (I have page titles module installed)

I assume that you have noticed that you can add menu links under admin > build > menus (and then the menu of choice). This can be used to link to the /node page, displaying the standard teaser list.

There is no easy way of adding a title to an existing page (that I know of). The Page Title changes the HTML title on the top browser list, but not the title on the actual page.

If I was faced with this problem I would use the Views module (http://drupal.org/project/views), which can be used to build lists similar (or even identical) to the standard front page. If you're new with Drupal the interface can be pretty intimidating, but once you've gotten used to it you can do a gazillion different things with Views.
In Views, you can set the title of the lists you make (among 10^3 other settings...)

If you just want a teaser list of blogs, I recommend trying the SimpleViews module in combination with Views. It contains a drastically stripped-off interface that is much easier to get into. (I think it appears at the node type settings, but I'm not sure.) You can find SimpleViews at http://drupal.org/project/simpleviews.

All of this might seem overkill just to get a title for a blog teaser list, but learning Views is one of the best things you can do to learn Drupal – so it's well worth spending time of regardless of which problem you're trying to solve.

Good luck!

I have been using views, but I don't like the fact that a perfectly good teaser page (/node) will be on the site and not used. I have found that the newer releases of views module have a conflict with other modules. I keep getting 500 errors with some of my more recent sites with the newer version of views. Any idea why that is?
