OK, here's what I'm looking to do:

Basically, I'm looking to create a news site. Let's say this site consists of five main sections and each section has subsections. The Home page would hold stories from all other sections. Here's a basic site tree:

1) Home

2) Politics
> Elections
> Voting
> Clinton vs Obama

3) Crime
> Guns
> Drugs

4) Entertainment
> Celebrity News
> Sports

5) Health
> Fitness
> Medication

I can create this basic architecture using the taxonomy in Drupal. But linking to these pages isn't intuitive if I do so. For example, if I were to create a menu item and link to Politics, I would have to enter(with the full path) something like this http://www.sitename.com/taxonomy/term/1. Ideally, the link would be something like sitename.com/politics or even sitename.com/politics/voting if I were to take it a step further.

Does anyone have a simple solution to this? I wish I could just add stories to selected pages.

Thanks so much, DRUPAL ROCKS!!!!!!!

1. That's okay - if you have only a few sections/subsections, it's easy enough to put the full path there. Usually with drupal, you just have to put in taxonomy/term/1

2. Have you looked at PathAuto. It helps make terms more intuitive.

I personally have limited use for taxonomy. I like the flexibility of CCK because I can spec out a more complete structure for each node at the beginning of development instead of trying to force my ideas into a taxonomy/core node type of structure.
