Root Level Posts on Homepage

I'm trying to return a list of posts/pages (much like blog list view) but I am running into an error and I feel like it might be due to how I have it setup. Right now I have "posts" at the root and I need to keep them that way so the url can be simple like "mywebsite.com/jeepwrangler".

I've tried grabbing the pages via a collection but no dice. Is it because I don't have them in a parent page/category like "cars" for example? And if a parent category is needed how can I still maintain that simple url?

Thanks!

@dan:
how can I still maintain that simple url?

You want to hide the home route in the URL, there is a setting in the Config for this toward the top of the page.

Andy, thanks for that! Turned out to be much easier than I thought! 🙂
