lora,
thank you.
but don't you think that the views module isn't easy at all? I tried it but couldn't do anything with it. I saw it as being very difficult. is there some book that explains it more? I know it's powerful.

Mohammed, take a look at the views module. You can create a wide variety of blocks this way, including this one you describe.
Hope this helps.
Best, Laura

hello.
I have searched for this on drupal but couldn't find anything. could somebody tell me how to achieve this? creat a block that displays the latest 3 sticky posts: title and teaser. this will serve like a highlite block in the home page.

Try taking an existing view, and clicking "clone." That way the obvious stuff is already filled in. Things to remember:
1) You need a page if you want people to see all your sticky posts.
2) You need a block, obviously.
3) You will want to have filters. Musts would be node is sticky, node is published. You can add taxonomy, author, other conditions as you like. Try it out, and see what happens.
4) You probably don't need to deal with arguments.
Hope this helps.
Best, Laura
