Tutorial #1: Let's make a new pages block
Now let's make a block for new pages.
To add views, you modify one of the default views.
These instructions are for 4.7
 administer -- views
 go down to default views
 look at the row called tracker, click "add"
 click on "Provide Page" to turn it off
 click on block to expand the menu
 click "Provide Block" to put an x in the box
 Leave it on "List View"
 Put "New Pages" in for title
 Put in "10" for "Nodes per block"
 Click on "More" to put an x in the block
Now we will pick the fields.
 The default view for tracker comes with 5 fields.
 We only want the title field, so we'll put the other 4 fields in the
trashcan.
 Click the trashcan icon on the row for node type "Type"
 Do the same for "Author," "Replies," and "Last Post"
 Now for the one field remaining called "Title," erase the word "Title"
from the box called "Label" so the word does not appear 10 times in your
block.
 Click Save.
Go to administer -- blocks.
 Look under the section for disabled blocks.
 Find one called "New Pages"
 Click the box to enable it
 Give it a weight of -10 by clicking on the down arrow next to the
number
 (The -10 means it will be at the very top)
 Leave it on "left sidebar"
 Click on "Save Blocks"
Congratulations. You should now have a new block called "New Pages" on
the left side of your website.
