I'm new to Drupal and I'm having a time getting my head around the way it works. All I'm trying to do do is this:

Home Page has a block(?) in the center saying "Recent News" which has the 3 most recent announcements. Clicking one goes to the News page(?) which list all of them all in full.

I have created a Page called News and given it a Menu assignment, so I can get to the page, but I don't know how to add the articles (are these stories?) to that page, and then to add the 3 most recent teasers to the homepage.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

There's a variety of ways to accomplish this, but one easy way is to install the Views modules and create a block to output node teasers of your news content type. The teaser links can either point to the specific node page or perhaps another views page listing the nodes in full. If you go the latter route, you'll want to add pagination.

on the same note, I found the step by step explanation in the Views Help section helpful with creating a block with news titles and teasers for my front page: http://views-help.doc.logrus.com/help/views/example-recent-stories
