So, I'm looking at https://xoops.org, and I'm looking at the Center Column. I think to myself, I want a site that looks fairly similar to this. Great! I think.

So, I play around w/ the appropriate modules. Turns out, that none of them create a block that is appropriate (or similar) to the main XOOPS page.

I think that I want them to be "news" articles, but with the full text appearing in the column, not just the headlines which appear right now.


Second part of the question:
Is there a walkthrough of setting up an example website? I'm looking at several documents on customizing a site, but nothing that is really applicable in the early "phase of the game".

Thanks for any assistance.
