Hello, I hope I can get some help here. I know my question is very basic but I just feel like ever since starting work with drupal about a year ago I keep coming back to square one.
I would like my nodes to appear nicely, with ease of adding images inline. I haven't run across a really good way to do that while creating the node. I've used the image picker module among others. But that leaves me with another problem. I would like to make something like a block or a section on a page, probably the home page, that has latest news snippets. I've already accomplished that with views and a modifying the story content type so that it has and image upload field (with CCK). Here's an example: http://waylanandlaurie.com/screeny/view.png From this, I would like to click on the title, teaser, or thumbnail to see the full node, in a nice layout. Where should I start to make this happen correctly? I'm kind of walking in circles at the moment.
Merlinofchaos gave a good answer in this thread about using Panels and views to override a node view: http://drupal.org/node/533082 Is this the direction I should be going? If so, what about page style? ie: Making the title appear as H1, the image have text flow around it, that kind of stuff.
Any help? Have I got it all backwards? Thanks in advance.
p.s. I can easily link pictures in my nodes manually and style them the way I want, but I want to make this easier for the average user.
