So, I have been looking for a way to display images with url links that will change to a new page when clicked.
To learn about ImageField+ImageCache I watched this video: http://blip.tv/file/256997. Unfortunately it seems to be for a version prior to Drupal 6.
I followed it from setting a preset in ImageCache, which it doesn't seem to be using yet, to defining a new content type, Cached Image, with an image field. I created an instance of Cached Image and can see it in my contents list.
I wasn't able to follow the video with creating a View. Plus I want to do something different than him. I want to create a Block that I can stick in the sidebar or header. I have a couple of images. Problem 1) It is not clear how to setup the View. I think I can attach a Block Display. Problem 2) I don't know how I reference the block for each image when I go to add it to my sidebar. Problem 3) when do I use the ImageCache preset?
Thank you for any help you can provide. I have the sense that Views are very powerful items.
