Hello this is my first post.
I just started using drupal and can't seem to figure one thing out .
On my home page I am able to write articles within. Home is one of the tabs on my menu. I want to create another tab called "Reviews" in
which I will post separate articles. I tried creating a Basic Page but can't seem to place any articles in it. Is there a way to duplicate the home
page template and the link the two (the reviews and home page) through menu tabs ? Thank you .

hello
you should create a seperate content type. there are a few ways to achieve what you want but it sounds to me like you are getting basic page articles because they are promoted to front page. i would start by playing around with content types and get used to that concept. Create one called 'reviews'. The views module is how i would achieve what you want but thats quite a big area in itself. Essentially you create a page view, call it reviews and then filter by content of type 'reviews'.. Drupal can seem pretty confusing to a beginner!
Ok, I have played around with
Ok, I have played around with creating content types in the past but was not able to achieve what i wanted. Ill look into the view module. Thanks.
Neither ...
Neither a separate content type nor Views is required for the situation you describe. Organize your content using the Taxonomy system. Every term automatically gets a list page. If you don't want an item to appear on the home page, uncheck the "front page" setting when you create or edit then node.
taxonomy
am i correct in thinking you would have to add a term reference field to the basic page content type? how do you get a reference in a menu containing a link to a list of nodes with teasers with a specific taxonomy term?
