 * I have a WP installation with the home page as a page. This all works ok.
 * I want to move posts to a subdirectory called “blog”. I have modified the permalink
   by adding /blog/ to the start of it. I can now view single posts ok but i cant
   get to the list of posts, i get the 404 file, what do i need to do to get the
   list of posts, i.e. when the url is [http://mysite/blog](http://mysite/blog)

 * you need to create a page called “blog”
    then go to admin – settings – reading
   and set that as your blog page
 * the permalink thing will not work
