Howdy folks.
I have been looking at Drupal for a while but haven't had the chance to use it in a project until now and I have a simple question about categorizing content and linking to it from the Primary menu. What I have is a content type that I created for newsletters to simplify the creation of monthly articles and keep them separate from other pages / story articles. What i need is a menu link that will display the list of newsletters on a page for users to see an archive of current and past monthly articles.
Is there something in Drupal or a module I'm missing that lets you display a list of pages for a particular content type which could be added as a link on the main menu? Or maybe there is a better way to handle this all together in Drupal. I looked at book pages which would work with one exception the monthly articles will never need child pages which makes the bottom book navigation irrelevant.
Thank you in advance.

Views module
You're missing the near indispensable Views module. It creates and display lists of pretty much any content in Drupal (nodes, users, taxonomy...).
Views provides it's own documentation using the Advanced help module, and there are some tutorials here on Drupal.org. I'd suggest also looking at the SimpleViews module. It provides a less overwhelming UI for Views beginners.
ah-ha
much appreciated, i'll get it installed and play around with it.
