Before I got set up with Drupal I was using old PHPNuke, and the only feature I miss from that CMS is that when my contributors posted an article, it would wait in an admin queue for me to review and edit it before allowing it to post.
Is there any way to establish a moderation queue for Drupal posts?
Thanks in advance!

thanks silverwing, I'll check
thanks silverwing, I'll check that out.
digging deeper
Okay, I got the latest version of Views installed, and I was successful in using it to create a few 'five most recent...' blocks (as you can see along the right side) but I'm unsure of how I would go about using it to give myself an admin moderation filter on new incoming stories and book pages.
Are you saying I should create a new view of unpublished posts that is visible only to moderators, and then go into my preferences for the content types and make it so the members of my submitters' groups cannot publish (make the publish box checked) their articles, and so therefor the submissions will wait in that unpublished posts view until a member of the moderators group publishes them?
If so I'll try to make this happen, but I may need to ask for specifics later.
Thanks for your help!

ummm...
yes.
On one site I have, I made a block of 'pending' posts and made it appear on the /admin/* pages so I know what I need to do.
And there's really no wrong way to do it. Play around and find what works best for you.
I'm getting closer
...but still no luck. It seems that while I've successfully used Views to make a view of unpublished articles, I haven't been able to figure out how to make it so articles don't get published by default. It may take quite a bit of knuckle-rapping to get my staff to uncheck the "Published" box before they post it.
Any advice?
...
on the content type edit page, make sure "published by default" isn't checked.
