Hi everyone,

I am slowly trying to migrate my current site into drupal, and i am hoping for someone to point me in the right direction. One thing i want from drupal is an easy way for a user to submit an article with pictures. Is there a module for this? Also, once the content has been entered, is there an easy way to pull recent content (say 3 most recent articles) and display on the front page along with many other things (random image from gallery, recent forum posts etc)? I'm looking for a function, although i don't have a problem writing my own, but that would defeat the purpose of drupal right?

thanks for any input.

There are multiple modules in the repo that handle images, investigate the media category and test the modules. This is the only way to insure you get a module with the features you want.

you can build a MySQL query, or use the views.module to build a query.
