I'm trying to figure out if I can do something similar in views so that my taxonomy terms and their definitions appear as a glossary page:

  • Term 1
    • Definition 1
    • link to page of items referencing the term
  • Term 2
    • Definition 2
    • link to page of items referencing the term

and so on...

I am now at the stage of groping and grabbing in the dark. I tried out this tutorial (http://drupal.org/node/63230) but though it is fine for a simple block, it hasn't helped me grasp the intricacies of designing a views page. I'm not sure quite what a field, argument, or filter is, nor how to use them. I think that's the major problem now. If I figure out how to do what I want to do, though, I'll let you know.

well, I can answer a few of your questions, but I think we still basically have the same problem.

field - you can define which fields of the nodes that are shown. For example, for my gallery view I only want to show the title and a thumbnail of the attached image.

argument - this is similar to a filter, but uses the url to define which nodes are shown. (sorry this isn't a very good explanation this will give you more insight - http://drupal.org/node/104124)

filter - this is how you filter out nodes. for example if you only want to show nodes of a certain media type or category etc.
