After having installed Drupal 6 I wanted to make a blog-section. I started of with creating a custom node-type as I only want a single-user blog, however, how do I create a link that displays all blog-nodes on a page? Do I have to use views in order to make that possible?

Thanks

Yes, You will have to use views. Read the views documentation it may take some time to learn but you cannot live without it.

you may want to consider assigning just yourself to a particular role in the
admin > user mangagement > roles section.

then grant only that role (you) permission to create blogs in the
admin > user management > permissions > blog module > create blogs checkbox.

in the admin > content management > blogs > workflow settings, you can check the box to have blogs promoted to the front page/main page of your site.

in this case your site name, example.com, would automatically list your blog entries.

if you choose not to promote blogs to the front page, post a test blog entry.
then go to your main navigation links, click blogs and a submenu link named "My blogs" will appear.

the page this links to will have the list of your blogs. example.com/?q=blog/1

@NeoID:
I have been facing the same problem of displaying a blog in a single page. Any solution via the Views module?

All the best,
