Hi Folks,

Ok I've read the docs and watched every tutorial I can find but I'm apparently just not good at this :(

What I have are several stories that are tagged with the same taxonomy term "sea stories". They are already on a page www.mysite/seastories. All I'm trying to do is use Views to create a block that will show a teaser of the latest "sea stories".

I'm totally confused with "arguments" and when I try to apply filters specific to my taxonomy term it still won't display anything more that the title of the block.

If someone would point a newbie in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

an argument is not required in your case..

use filters as
Node type: Story
Taxonomy Term: sea stories

and add a sort criteria
Sort descending by timestamp of creation.

Cheers

Thank you much my friend! Much appreciated!

One more quick question, do I need to do anything for "fields"?

Again, thanks much.

fields are what u want to display.. say title etc.. fields are not needed if u are diplaying a full node or a teaser.. if not choose specific fields to diplay in ur block.

Cheers
