    So confusing!! I need help on this.
    I just want to display the title of all my posts on the front page only.

    But don’t know how.
    Can anyone help?

    My accent is not something I’m going to change based on feedback I get on YouTube. It is what it is. So it’s not really constructive feed back so much as it is a dig at me personally. And that I don’t appreciate.

    You can do that with views. You want to create a page view with a “row style” of “fields”. Then just add the title field in the “fields” section. You’ll probably want to filter on published nodes and sort based on the posted date descending. Once you create that view you can then change the front page location in /admin/settings/site-information.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Unfortunately, when I began creating adding this I was receiving errors on naming the view.

    Is there any chance I can contact you on instant messenger so you can further assist me?

    thanks!

    ok, that was rude, with no interest i admit. But i’m not an asshole so let met take that again.

    This tutorial help me get rid of this headache Views gave me, it’s good content and appreciated work. But i still think, in a constructive way, that you can get much better with talkin for doing screencasts. It’s just.. irritating ! Hope you’ll understand.

    Please, accept all my excuses ; I guess internet let us free of being rude too much, but it is not a reason, for that i’m sorry.

    Regards.

    Your accent is fine, nothing wrong with it. I’ve watched a lot of youtube tutorials where the voiceover person has no idea what they are talking about, or is so dry and stale you are snoozing by 1:30, and you don’t have either of those problems.

    Hey Rob,

    I’ve watched a couple of your videos recently. They are awesome. I actually appreciate the zooming in, so you can see what’s being clicked on. And please ignore that jerk criticizing you accent. I find your voice clear and easy to listen to. (And I don’t mean that in a creepy way, LOL)

    Anyway, keep up the good work. I’d love to see a tutorial on how to connect your custom Views generated views and present them in an actual menu or submenu.

    Thanks Again!
    Jerry

    The URL bit confuses me…’if you have a page view that is enabled for your view then you should see a URL here’…what does that mean?
    That doesn’t even show up on my install of views on Drupal 6. Also, how do I make use of my view…..how do I assign that URL.

    Also,,,,you can have multiple pages within a view. I thought that a view was a page. So, how can there be more than one page within a view. Is it a container for pages? Perhaps I’m getting confused by semantics.

    I don’t know why you all talk so much about his accent! lol you’re crazy, what accent??? Just to let you guys know, the world is a little more than USA, and there’s lots and lots of people who just don’t care about any accent once they’re not from there, I’m from sweden and I love his tutorials! Please stop irritating him, what if he gets mad and don’t wanna do tutorials anymore? we’ll die!!
    ps. thank you so much for this one, that’s exactly what i was looking for.

    Are you from Australia? Sometimes I can’t tell if an accent is Australian or English. Is American your native language?

    I agree that it is inappropriate to critique a lecturer regarding the presence of an accent. By definition, we all have an accent that is peculiar to our place of origin when listened to by someone not of that region. I do find it interesting that you assume complaints regarding any accent come from the US as this speaker has a perfect, native-born mid-west American dialect. In other words, to an American he has no accent.
