Hi Keith,<br>
<br>
Allthough using views will give you a lot more possibilities, it has also a<br>
learning curve. Activating views will also make your site heavier and<br>
slower.<br>
<br>
So I would like to point out that what you want is also possible without<br>
views. If your site is a blog site and you only want a blog content type<br>
and one listing of blog items on /blog you could also do it without view<br>
following the steps below.<br>
- Go to Structure > Content types (admin/structure/types) and add your blog<br>
content type. Edit each content type and remove in publishing options the<br>
"promote to front page" setting, add it for blog.<br>
- Go to configuration > site information<br>
(admin/config/system/site-information) and set the default front page to<br>
whatever other fixed page you like<br>
- Go to configuration > url aliases (admin/config/search/path) and add an<br>
alias "blog" for the existing system path "node"<br>
- Your blog is now available at /blog, so add it to a menu<br>
(admin/structure/menu).<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Hans<br>
