Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a module or combination of modules to post a news rotator section on the home page and home pages of sub-categories within a site. I think a module exists for it, but cannot remember the right term for it.
Please help...

Thanks!

The simplefeed module is outstanding for this purpose. FeedAPI also is a terrific module.

Thanks bwv, but I don't need feeds from external sites... Only featured 'articles' & 'news' stories from the existing site...

Perhaps you need a php snippet, that lists the terms associated with a given vocabulary. The list refreshes everytime a new node is produced. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Please have a look at this link to see an example...

It's a Joomla! template and plugin, but the idea is what I'm after...
The stories are pulled from posted articles and images uploaded as required...

Ok, you need to explore the CCK and Views modules, and quite possibly the Panels module. The three of them work harmoniously together to allow the developer and user alike to tap into the incredible power of drupal, and will be able to give you the sort of functionality you describe above.
