Hello everyone!
I'm a (confused) newbie working on my new website, based on drupal:
http://gerlos.altervista.org/drupal

I'd like to organize posts in 5 different areas, and to do so I created a new vocabolary in the taxonomy page with one term for every areas.

Next thing I'd like to do is to put on the left a block listing theese areas. I'd like that when a visitor click on a specific area, will appear a sub-menu, listing nodes realted to that area. How can I do it?

Is there a way to create subtopics?
I mean something like "Photography -Cameras - Digital cameras" and "Photography -Cameras - Film cameras"

thank you in advance.

You can add sub-categories. Edit the vocabulary and select under hierarchy single level or multiple. Then you will be able to add terms to the main vocabulary, or terms under the vocabulary.

As for you second item, that is not so easy. There is a built in block that will display a menu like listing of your vocabulary, but not just one term under the vocabulary.

To show the whole list, go to administer->blocks, and look for you vocabulary name. Enable the block.

To do exactly what you want, will have to use the View Module (fine in downloads section), filter all nodes that have a particular term, and then select the option to display it as a block. I am not sure if you would have to do this for each term, or if you could set up a smart block that will notice what you are looking at. I have not used the Views module in this fashion yet.
