[development] writing a module to count the nodes and format them

[Maciej Perlinski]

Hello Alex,

as you have underlined it its the level of presentation , i suggest
you to use views and page-front.tpl.php.

Modules are rather for the logical layer of drupal functionality
(where you change things how they are processed)
