Hi,
I thought that I could change the order of the blog posts on my site from what it automatically does (which is post the most recent blog entry at the top) to an order I can choose. I thought that if I messed around with weighting the articles (blog post A for instance at -50, blog post B at -48) that it would fix itself but it hasn't. I dont' want to make them "sticky" neccessarily, since sticky doesn't allow me to choose with one I want at the top. For instance, How can I take a blog post that's currently in the middle of my page, to be the 3rd entry from the top?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i generally use http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue for randomly ordered collections of nodes.

The views module is very powerful at listing nodes in a systematic way. Nodequeue (as mentioned above) is better for random listings. Either way, those are the modules that you should look at.

how would you give your own users access to rearrange their blog posts? by adding weights for example... how is that done? is there a better method?
