On my site I want to publish content of a particular type to a block in a side-bar.

For example, suppose I have a content type called "Quote." Each quote is created as a seperate node. The quote nodes are published/un-published using the Schedule module. When published, a quote node is displayed in a side-bar block.

I know how to do everything except tell the nodes to display in the block. How can I tell a particular content type to display in the proper block? Surely there must be an easy way to do this, but searching the forum and the tutorials hasn't turned up a solution. Any ideas how this can be done?
By the way, I'm on 5.x with the Garland theme.

Thanks!

Sounds to me like you want to create a block View.
From the Views module page: "[You need Views if] You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type."

Have a look here: http://drupal.org/project/views

Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't realized that views was capable of doing this. Works very well, once you get the arcane interface figured out.
