Are you meaning by List of nodes, a list of specific content types, e.g. story, page, and my additional node that I'll create, poem?

Awesome module. It lets you custom-build a list of nodes according to a wide range of configurable parameters.
CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck
Drupal 5+ includes the ability to create new "basic" node types through the admin. A basic node type has a title and a body (body is disableable.) CCK lets you add additional fields to any given node type. Those fields are provided by separate, dedicated modules. The CCK package includes several (textfield, number, nodereference, etc.), and there's a huge number of others available in contrib.
The usually best way to map out the site is to first decide what your node types look like, conceptually. Then figure out the fields they need. Then set those up using CCK. Then determine what lists of nodes you'll want, and build those using Views. At least that's the usual method I use. :-)

I've heard again about Views. What are Views? Is that one specific contributed module? When would one use that? Thanks, Bruce

My main section "ABOUT" contains: -My BIO -My Discography -- As a Leader -- As a Supporting Musician -My show schedule -Video Clips -Audio Clips -The list of musicians who plays for my shows (present/past)
I did this by creating custom content types to each of them. After many days of trial and error, they all shows up as desired using Views. However, as I moved onto other section, such as my jazz theory section, where I used Book, I realized if I should had done all the "ABOUT" section in Book. The main reasons are:
- Book provides "previous" and "next" node hyperlink at the bottom
- Book provides summarized front page
For example, I couldn't figure out how to create a View just to list the titles of all the subsections, like Book provides.
If I want to convert all the "ABOUT" subsections to a Book, can it be done? I couldn't find it how. Searching at Drupal site but to no avail so far.
If you have the book module enabled, you should be able to integrate the pages into a book by simply going to the "Outline" tab of each node and placing it somewhere into the hierarchy.
