Blog posts not on blog page

Newbie here. I am fiddling around with learning and have tried arranging the template blog page to show on the main menu however the blog posts do not update and new posts do not show up. Then tried setting up a new blog page but when adding posts they show up as sub menu pages. Clearly am not understanding the Sitemap concept. User guide not much help.
thanks.
Atomic theme.
