Some modules provide blocks with dynamic content. For instance, with the Views module you can create a list of the 5 latest nodes. You can also set the input type of a custom block to php and enter your own code.

If you can be more specific about what you need, we can be more specific about the solution.

Hello everybody,
Maybe out of topic right now... I was just wondering... I have a library page in my website and would like to have a disclaimer page that opens before people download the book.
It should basically be a download button next to my book, people click on it and get the disclaimer which they have to check to proceed with the download.

Look forward to hearing any options!
best,
charter

If you have a node for every celebrity, you could add a field to the content type indicating the 'in focus' status or a rating. You need the CCK module to be able to add fields to content types.
You'll also need the Views module. It allows you to set filters (type=celebrity, status=infocus), sort the results (by date, alphabet, rating...) and create a block with a list of the resulting nodes.

Hi Amit,
I’m really new to Drupal but I’m trying to do something similar to what you have done. I’m developing a free site for the RSPCA in Brighton and need to be able to show the latest 5 or 6 animals with their picture and a linked to a page on them. I’m using D6. If you could elaborate as to how you achieved it that would be great.

Any advice would be much appreciated
