Hi, i just started playing around with Drupal in an effort to eventually build a nice website. Things are going well thanks to all the online resources, but there is one thing i just can't seem to figure out. Probably because it's so easy that no one thinks of writing it down!

Anyway, what i want to do is to have three or four of the most recent posted stories on my front page at the same time. That's it. What happens now is that the most recent story shows and in order to see the other ones you have to click "previous".

What to do?

Also a newbie myself but I think the views module might be able to do this for you. Also sounds a bit like blogging so maybe do a search for blogging and drupal?

I've only been figuring out drupal for about a week(longest week in my life, bleh!), so i could be way off.

Thanks, i suspected Views might be able to do this...maybe i should do a bit of reading up on it and see what i find out!

Views is always great to learn. But even without Views, you should be able to have multiple posts show on your front page; it seems odd that you're only getting one.

Assuming you have multiple posts checked as "Promoted to front page", a possible simple cause for your problem is that "Number of posts on main page" is set to only 1 ( admin/content/node-settings ). Is that the case?

Yes, that was the case! Sometimes the easy ones are the hardest to figure out... Thank you for your help!
