Just wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a means to add newly-created content to my sidebar. If I enable the blog module I am given an option in BLOCKS to run all new blog entries anywhere I like on the page. I've created my own content type, called EVENTS, but BLOCKS doesn't give me the same option to add all new EVENTS to the sidebar. Am I missing something?

Views is what you need
Your best option would be to add a module like views (http://drupal.org/project/views). From there you can add a block view that will be filtered by type where you would select event. Then the new block (named after the view) will be in the blocks area and you can set it in the sidebar area.
OK, downloaded and installed.
OK, downloaded and installed. How do I create a block view?
Sorry, I think I just found
Sorry, I think I just found it in the advanced help module for VIEWS. Thanks for your direction. I would not have found this otherwise.
Glad I could help!

Came across a problem
Came across a problem quickly. I can't seem to navigate to admin/build/views. It's just not there. VIEWS is installed and I can change permissions for it but the administer page doesn't show up. What gives?
