I am migrating a site and want to just use the blog page aspect of this theme to start (not the slider home page).
How can I do this?
Great theme, by the way.

Hey,
Change the from page settings to your blog page (WP admin -> Settings -> Reading)
Hope this helps! :)

Thanks so much, James, that's what I thought but I only have one page on the site (the blog) and WP does not allow me to use the same page for 'posts' and for the 'front page'. When I do that it screws up the archived pages.
I tried putting the blog as the 'front page' and 'static' as the blog page but it shows the full blog posts and not the summary (even though I have 'summary' checked).
Am I missing something?

You're not missing anything, but I wasn't aware of only having one page; that will screw things up a bit :(
The other way to do this is to get down and dirty with the PHP, copy the content of template_blog.php to index.php and remove the page template code at the top:
/* Template Name: Blog */and change the reading settings back to "your latest posts" which actually refers to home.php (doesn't exist) or index.php (because home.php doesn't exist).
Let me know how you get on...
