At the moment I'm only at the "planning out" stage of a Drupal website, but I would be interested in peoples' comments.

For one of my content types I want a "How to..." guide - something that will demonstrate to a visitor how to do something in a step-by-step style (e.g. How to... write your CV, How to... build a house). Each step (of which there could be many) will have some text and an accompanying photo. Ideally, week on week, the number of "How to..." guides will increase, so there could end up being hundreds of pages.

What would be the best, easiest and simplist way to accomplish this? A single node for everything or prehaps multiple nodes displayed by a view? How would YOU do it?

Hey scarecrow-rye you can check out how we have set up the guides section at My Apple Guide. http://www.myappleguide.com/guides

Many thanks for the link - I really like what you've done.

I guess, maybe, I'm making things too complicated for myself. Rather than splitting each stage of the guide up into seperate nodes I could simply stay with the default page/blog node and include all of my text and images within a single node.

Thank you.

Simple is always good. What you suggested would be easiest. If you need any more help, let me know.
