Day 3 for my journey with XOOPS...so far, great!

I'm using AMS (Article Management System) to build artilces for various departments of a union. I'm wondering if there is a way of displaying those articles as a link/block in my left menu instead of having them appear in a dropdown menu.

I would like to replace my client's current website with an XOOPS site as it occured to me that each of the pages on his current site are only different in that each page has a visible menu link.

Thanks for any help!
