To change the URI path, you'll need to do 2 things:

1. Add a route to your fuel/application/config/routes.php file:

$route['news(/.+)?'] = 'blog$1';

1. Log into the CMS and got to Settings-> Blog then change the "URI" to "news"

To add the contents to your homepage, you can get a list of recent news items by doing the following:

$recent_posts = $CI->fuel->blog->recent_posts(5);
foreach($recent_posts as $post): 
     echo $post->title;
endforeach;

The fuel/modules/blog/libraries/Fuel_blog.php file has a bunch of methods on it you can use:

Try using $route['news(/.+)?'] = 'blog$1'; instead of $route['news(/:any)?'] = 'blog$1';. I believe CI what :any captured.

Ok I manage to do it. This is the steps i make :

1. Change fuel/modules/blog/config/blog.php file:
   $config['blog']['uri'] = 'news';

2.Add in fuel/applications/config/routes.php:
$route['news'] = 'blog';
$route['news(/.+)?'] = 'blog/$1';

3.Log in to cms and go to settings -> Blog and change "blog" to news on URI.

Erase all cache from browser and cms.
