Divide site into sections

is this what one would use the story content for, or would i have to set up something more complicated with code or a new module?

There are many ways to implement sections.

Taxonomy is perhaps the most versatile and wide-spread way. You tag the posts with some taxonomy terms (categories) which you have created, and set up pages to introduce and/or list posts tagged with each term. The Views module (http://drupal.org/project/views) is very useful for creating these section pages. See also http://drupal.org/node/299

Or, you can create similar section pages by content type (stories, events etc): http://drupal.org/project/get_content_type or the Views module.

You can even combine taxonomy with content types: http://drupal.org/project/node_type_filter or the Views module.

Or, you can use directly the menu system. With the path module enabled, you can assign a path to each post as you edit it, and set up menus. Lots of manual work, but some modules such as taxonomy_menu may help.

Additionally, you can use some module such as Organic Groups (http://drupal.org/project/og) or Sections (http://drupal.org/project/sections).
