Drupal 7.x

-I am using Drupal7.0 on Win7x64bit, I am new to drupal, though i am picking it up easilly.

The recent content block lists the most recently changed nodes. I'd rather have a block that lists the most recently created ones, and would prefer not to install an additional module or two to do so.

In Drupal 6 the following code worked:

How do I get content to automatically post into a sidebar?

I can get articles, pages etc to post on the main page, but I cant position them so they post into the sidebar automatically where I want some of them.

I figured I would use a block to link the content somehow, but I dont see a way to do that. I just need to learn this (probably) simple process.

Thanks guys.

Hi guys!

I am testing the D7 and my question is:

I created a new type of content on my site, which is on localhost. This new type of content is displayed correctly when I access the Content Types in http://localhost/drupal/admin/structure/types.

I have two sites running one a local server which PDO was installed 2 months ago.
This error has appeared after one site had been up for 2 months and the other one for 1 week.
"Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home1/chemainu/public_html/includes/database/database.inc on line 185"
This error did not occur at the time when I was actively doing anything on the sites.
My web hosting say that the PDO is installed.
I can download these site and put them back on my local testing server (Aquia Drupal Control) with no problems.

Since a growing number of "design designers" (like me) discover Drupal and content themselves with simply styling a good theme's sub-theme, it might be a good idea to let them know that using special characters in an .info file are not quite a good idea.
It took me hours to find out that a bunch of "invalid argument" warnings came from a tiny German umlaut (ü). This applies to D6 only, I saw no warnings in D7. In both cases the characters produce invalids in source code validation, though.
