Hi,
I am involved with a site where we are using Drupal, but are all new to it. We have been able to figure out most of the things we want, but one feature we need is the blogs to be organized in such as way as seen at http://www.java-tips.org ... where blogs are just displayed as links (no intro paragraph) & they are sorted by the subcategories. What I like in this UI is that they not only list the posts under the primary topic, they identify the subtopic as well, and also show the most number of articles in the least amount of space. Can someone please explain to us how implement this type of UI in Drupal... many thanks would be there for you, and if you like, we can link to your site as a contributor/supporter once we are ready to go live.
FYI, this is our sandbox where we are developing example topics and articles: http://www.juxtabin.com/drupal/
Thanks again,
Gene

have you tried the views module?
The views module is a nice query builder that lets you create lists like this. You may be able to build this kind of UI by building a taxonomy to represent the categories of content, and then creating views to display content of x type from y category/vocabulary. You might try using it in combination with the insert view module, which lets you easily stack multiple views inside a single page.
Otherwise, take a look at this page: http://drupal.org/node/23220 -- it contains links to a bunch of php snippets that may do what you're looking for. Many of the snippets that are written for 4.6/4.7 still work in 5.x; check them out.
Good luck!
also, check out sitemenu module
It may do the trick for you, with a little theming. Check it out: http://drupal.org/project/sitemenu.
