Newbie question

Hello:

I installed XOOPS today & I am extremely happy with my progress.

I added the 'News' module & added a couple of news items.
I also admined the 'blocks', so that the 'Main Menu' ( it holds the 'News' menu) shows up at the center (as opposed to left or right)

I have a (I think) simple question:

At present, my users have to click on the 'News' hyperlink to see the news stories. what can I do to show the News stories on the front page without having to click on the 'News' link ?

Thanks in advance.

In your system preferences for XOOPS select the start up page to be the news page simple. Then in news preferences set up how many topics you would like to be shown on the page at any one time I select 5 or 10.

Thanks...I got it working.
So, Now I have the top-5 news stories coming up in the 'center'. I have 1 more related questions:

I wanted 2 modules to show up in the center: 'News' & 'Forum'
Right now, I have only 1; I wanted my site to have a look & feel of the Home page of this 'Community' site: notice , how it has a 'Welcome to Xoops' block followed by a 'Latest XOOPS News' block.
How do I get the same look & feel.

Thanks in advance.
