I plan to use Drupal to build up my web site, which is http://www.hostingtag.com, and I want to change the display of the first page. Right now, it will list out the latest created articles, I want to display the first 5 articles for each categories (I don't have a lot of article categories, so the thought still make sense).

Is there any one can tell me which file I need to go to update? I am new to Drupal but I know how to do the coding.

thanks,

Check out both the panels and views module. The views module allows you to create a list of content in a variety of ways and could be used for the 5 articles in each category. The panels module (I prefere panels 2) allow you to break a page up into sections and include various content, in this case you views.

Hi Nevets,
I am using Drupal 6.0 now, looks like the views and panel module are not ready now. What else I can do now?

thanks,
Ray.

Thanks ica,
I will work against your post, but I believe this is the right answer for me.
