How can I create a block that updates itself in conjunction with the latest posted story?
What I want is the ability for the first paragraph of a story to appear in a block with a 'more' link to the actual story.
I don't want to use an iframe as the block needs to update itself as soon as a new story is posted.

You can use the
You can use the http://drupal.org/project/views module to setup a block view (views can list only 1 node) with whatever criteria you want (ie you could create a "block-story" cck field or content type for these items) and when you publish such a story it will automatically appear in the block.
