Yes, or pretty much anything you can think of. Lists of Poems that are not published. List of poems that are of category X. Block containing new poems that a user (or you) haven't read.
You define sort order, filter criteria, who you want to be able to see the list, etc. Which fields to include, which fields to sort on etc.

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?

Views: http://drupal.org/project/views 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. :-) On Wednesday 30 May 2007, Bruce Whealton wrote: > I've heard again about Views. What are Views? Is that > one specific contributed module?
