Hi everyone I am having troubles understanding arguments for views and cannot find straitforward support. Basically what I want is a vocabulary called 'tutorials' with terms under it css, flash, seo, etc. So if the user is on the tutorials page they will get all nodes for all terms but this will be restricted to the terms node if they are on that terms page eg. taxonomy/term/1. I would like to use one view for everything or at least one view for all terms. Thanks.

I would like to use one
I take it from that you want to set up one view for one term, clone it, change the name to the second term, and go from there.
This can be done with views filters, the first step is in the fields section so something will show up in your view. Node: Title is a good start.
Down under filters, choose Taxonomy: Term and select your first term.
See if that gets you started.
I don't want a view for each
I don't want a view for each individual term because I will end up having lots of terms and will end up being a mess of too many views. I would like one view that effects all terms for a particular vocabulary. That way if I need to make changes I do it only once instead of making that change for each instance of the term. Plus if I add terms I will not need to add views. Does that make sense?

Ok, it does give the option
Ok, it does give the option to select all the terms, just clone it for the different vocabularies.
But I am not sure how to
But I am not sure how to setup the first view. I just need a snippet or a clear explanation on how to set it up.
Thanks

Try the two options I have
Try the two options I have listed above. Anything you choose in the fields section will show up in your final view. Choosing Node: Title here will give you a list of titles. You can add as many fields as you like.
The filters let you choose which content is in your view. The Taxonomy: Term option will let you highlight the terms you want.
I know this is simplistic but I am off to work. Let me know what I left out and maybe we can get an explanation written.
Actually, I had only looked
Actually, I had only looked at the Views handbook page and had not bothered to click through to http://drupal.org/node/54432 which seems quite detailed. I am headed there now to make sure..
