Create a custom page in your theme folder, call it splash.php or w/e

In the very top of the page, put the following:

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

Next, copy your main "home" page (usually home.php) to blog_page.php and add the following to the top:

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

Then go into wordpress admin, create a new page and in the right column under "Page Attributes", select Splash Page from the drop down menu for Template. Publish the page.

Now, create another new page, and select "Blogs Page" for the template. Publish Page

Now go into Settings > Reading

Check the "A static page" box then select "Splash Page" for front page and "Blogs Page" for posts page.
