Issue Summary
I am using the middle block in a similar way to the Live demo page, it links to an article with comments, is there a way for the central block 'Home Area 2' to pull in the actual latest comment from the article page dynamically ? or should it already do this, but I might not have set it up properly ?

Hello rossoe
If I understand correctly your question, i think that you should use the Views module - http://drupal.org/project/views
This module will allow you to create a block which will collect the latest comment of your system.

I'm looking to have the exact same functionality as the live demo page. Would this fix apply?

Hi,
This is not a fix but yes, the views module should be able to pull the latest comment and display it in a block.
Views is a powerful module but you will have to configure it to pull the comment, it's not too difficult and the time spent to learn views is worth it.

Best Wishes, Phil.

I'm not really interested in pulling the comment, I'm more interested in pulling articles into the home block. Will there be any changes to accomplish this?

Hi,
Views will let you choose what you want to pull, so you should be able to pull an article or its teaser. I think a limit of words can also be set so that it doesn't display a whole article.
Put simply, you choose what you want, I'm confident views will be able to do it.
Best wishes, Phil.
