 * My permalink structure because of legacy content is set to /news/%post_id%/%postname%/
 * My problem lies in the ‘/news/’ landing page that should display recent posts.
   What do I have to do to create this landing page that lists/displays all the 
   posts in the database with paging etc…?
 * Thanks

 * You may or may not be able to have a Page there. If you can’t, just use `.htaccess`
   to redirect elsewhere.

 * Can I mask the url this way? From a bot perspective it has to be /news/

 * I remember now — I used to have all my URLs be `site.com/archives/2009/...` and
   used mod_rewrite to make a `/post-archives/` page show up there. If you have 
   a page with the actual stub, it’ll break things.
 * So in short, only way to do it is via mod_rewrite.
