YES! Get the newest Views
YES!
Get the newest Views module and enable it. Then Admin>Site building>Views. Add a new view. Add a new Block display. Under Basic settings change Style to List. now you can use the Fields section, go to it and add new fields like Node Title, to display just the title of nodes, you can also make them links to their full nodes. Then go to the Filter section to filter out the nodes you dont want displayed. Then go to the Sort criteria and sort Node:Post date.
Then in your Blocks section you should see the new block you made in views.
Hope this was helpul

Yup, this method i showed you is actually the Drupal 6, Views 2 http://drupal.org/project/views method. :)
I am currently using Views 2 and not having any problems.

Views 2 is in alpha, so not really ready for use, yet. But that's a pretty simple view so may be ok.
