Hello, I have a few questions I need answering

Is there a way I can create a page specifically so I can browse articles that I have published? (I suspect there is some module out there that does this)

How do I change the front page so it doesn't display all recent published stories?

How do I move all the recent published stories to a different page on my site?

Just to clarify, "published stories" are the stories that appear on the front page when you publish new content

thanks in advance

Hello there, don't take this the wrong way, but sounds like you need to browser through the documentation ;-)

But i hope i can point you in the right direction at least, what you want to look at is the 'Views Module" for your first question - i don't know if you're familiar with the Views module, but it's basically a kind of query-builder, it collects data and outputs it kind of like an aggregator, you'd have to play around with Views, and depending on your familiarity with it, use the 'Arguments' drop-down in there to output by "USER:UID is author", and then call the View with your user ID. So a new Views page named arbitrarily www.foo.com/mystories/1 would do the trick. That could sound terribly complex, i don't know.

#2 - under site information (/admin/settings/site-information) you can set any node to be your homepage - it can also be a View (a different listing of content), or a panel (see Panels module) which lets you place content in a grid-like fashion for more complex homepages.

#3 - See Views again.

Hope that helps, i haven't used drupal without views in a long time, so i could be mistaken.
