I would like to have a Blog Menu which looks something like this:
all showing under one block. Is this possible by adding ONE view?

I am playing around with Views but cant figure it out... are there any step by step instructions that youve seen here? I know in the tutorial there are very good examples but not the ones im looking for. The ones shown in their examples already have simple modules which are easier to install ;)
you will have to add multiple views to do what you want, so that they each have their own query. There are many tutorials that can be found using google with regards to how to learn views.module. There are a few books and DVD you may want to invest in that help a great deal with coming to terms with views.
Lastly, the advanced help.module will expose a great deal of documentation. You may not find specific tutorials but if you learn views you will quickly begin to understand how to put them together.
I get a warning using Advanced Blog module. I submitted a tech help and hopefully someone will help with the issue. Meanwhile if I can configure it myself using views it would be great!
I will definately have to learn Views cause the little I know, its an amazing tool.
btw that video was amazing! its soooo much easier learning through Video Tutorial. I hope to meet a few Drupal experts either through MeetUp or their meetings. Its just so much easier to learn through video/friends than playing yourself to figure out things!

I'd use a custom content type built with CCK and creates my blocks and lists with the views.module
