Brand new site: Use 6 or 7?

I'm currently leaning heavily towards using Drupal for a new site I'm going to start working on. I've had the idea and the domain for this site for a long time, and after recently helping my wife set up a really slick little Joomla site for her small business, I was re-invigorated and want to get to work on my site ASAP. Joomla is decent for a plug and play solution, but I can already see for my purposes that it won't do what I need. I have a lengthy background as a Windows developer (VB/ASP/C#/.NET/MSSQL) but really don't know anything about PHP other than the few tweaks or bugs I've had to fix in Joomla modules I've downloaded. Drupal looks like it fits the bill, I can get the site up and running and ease into PHP if there's any heavy lifting to be done later.

Anyway, onto the meat of my question. I've been reading about CCK and how it's moving to the core for Drupal 7, but it looks like there will be changes to the way CCK data is handled. Based on what I'm reading, my site will likely depend heavily on the CCK and custom data types. I'm not sure exactly how it's all going to fit together in the Drupal framework yet, but there will multiple primary types of nodes which will be set up hierarchically and can all have polls and comments and such attached to them.

"Promote to other page" functionality

I am still struggling with this. I am trying to list many articles on a single page (exactly what it does when you promote multiple articles to the front page, just not on the front page!).

Some people told me to use views. I found other information that said to use taxonomy and vocabulary. Surely this should be possible, and VERY easy at that! Can anyone explain step by step what to do?

Thanks,

Dave

"proof-reading" question

We recently had our website redesigned in Drupal. When I do updates, they are automatically live. Is there a way that we can manually upload pages instead of being automatically live so that someone can proof content before it's live? Thanks for any help!

3 Steps to Create Drupal Sites

Drupal is one of the most easy to use and powerful content management system in the world. It's open source and a lot of people contribute to it from application development, theme development and module development perspective. And the most important one to us is that they are all free.

Want to setup an Drupal site, below are the 3 steps you can follow.

1. Find a Reliable Affordable Web Hosting

If you have chosen Drupal CMS for your website, it is very important to find a reliable Drupal-specialized host which will tend to provide expert hosting services. Usually, as for a beginner, a charge lower than $7/month should be good enough for your hosting. You can consider to upgrade them to VPS or dedicated server once your site gains enough traffic.

2. Installation

Installing an Drupal instance is not hard. You can go to Drupal.org, download the installation scripts, and upload them to your web hosting directory. The installation process can be done via Web. So you need to type in the URL in the Browser where you upload the scripts to, and system will automatically guide you through how to create the site. One thing you need to do ahead is to create a Database instance which will be used during the installation
