View and edit own content

hi i'm new to drupal..i want to have a navigation link like "My Posts" and "Edit Posts" where a certain user can view and edit his own posts...though i have checked already the permissions for that certain user to edit own content. what am i going to do to have those navigation links...pls. i need the answer asap...thanks!
Well first off you really do
Well first off you really do not need a "My Posts" and "Edit Posts" link, you can edit from a "My Posts" link.
There are two straight forward approaches to "My Posts". 1) Enable the tracker module and give people logged in the correct permissions. 2) Install views and enable the tracker view that comes with it.
But What I Was Trying To Point Is
hello!thanks for your immediate reply!i really appreciate it so much but my problem is,, i have already installed views and enabled tracker modules even before this post...and i also have the "Recent Posts" on my navigation which is the title for the page of the tracker views right?!? but what i want to show to my users is like for example, i'm user 1 then i created a content. so of course eventually, i'm going to edit it..unfortunately, there's no direct link to view and edit my "only" posts or content. because the tracker views shows all the contents or posts of all users including me (user 1).so i want to have a page only for the users' posts excluding other users' posts. how can that be possible?!?

With the core tracker module
With the core tracker module you also get a 'track' tab under 'My account'. If you want a 'My Posts' link check out the 'me' alias which makes it easier to construct a path.
hey! thanks so much for
hey! thanks so much for helping me out...yeah you're right there's a "track" tab on My Account that i didn't see immediately!but i can't remove it from the My Account to make it an individual node or block or link... by the way, i forgot to mention that i'm using the "Book" in creating posts so my users could create posts in hierarchy. so the "My Posts" link that i want will be possible if i use "Blog" instead of the Book coz Blog has its own "My Blog" link that i could rename to "My Posts" right?!?...hmmm...it's too late for me to realize that i guess...

i got another solution, i
i got another solution, i used workspace module that shows all the posts of a certain user with an edit link! hehe...
