[support] Business Listings

[Laura Scott]

One nice thing about views is that you can experiment -- create a  
view visible only to admins, and try out the settings. A lot of  
modules play nice with views now, so you have a lot of power creating  
custom pages. I think it's one of the great things about the 5.2  
paradigm.

Views in 4.7 is nice, too, but since CCK works on a different footing  
there, it is perhaps less intuitive.
