Sorry if this is a stupid question. I have created a custom content type via CCK, let's call it "Articles". The site has a navigation block on the left part of the screen. What I want to do is create a view that will read "All Articles" which will take someone to a page with a list of all "Articles" types (guess I mean a set of "teasers" for the articles).
So far, I have created a view and set a filter of node type = "Articles". How do I create the landing page (ex - mysite.com/articles), and how to I create an "All Articles" link in the navigation?
Thanks so much for your help.

create an articles taxonomy which will automatically create a list of all articles.
In some cases I use taxonomy_default an issue content types a default term that matches the content type.
Views Page
In the View you created, you should be able to create a page. When editing the View there is a spot on the left to add a display. Adding a page display will create a page for this view. There will be a spot in the settings named "Page Settings" to name the page and place it in Primary Links or whatever menu you want. Just save and everything should be good. Don't forget to set the sort criteria (ex: Updated date desc) and the fields you want (ex: node teaser, node title, etc).
As mentioned, when creating
As mentioned, when creating the View, there should be an option to create the page path, such as mysite.com/articles ; that path is Drupal's instruction to build a page out of the path. (You probably understand this, but for the benefit of some newcomer who might not: All you create is the View – essentially a database search based on the conditions you provide – and give it a path. Drupal creates a page from there, with that path. You don't actually create a "landing page" per se, not in the sense of a pre-existing page onto which you then insert the View.)
