I am very new to drupal, so I already apologize if I ask something very simplistic...

I have a site where I would like to add a new block to the front page of the website. This block would show the companies newest available training's. I created the sub-pages of the training's.
My thought process was that I create the sub-pages, then create a new type of content (with the cck) where I can add the new sub-page node names and their links.
I created the new content type with two fields. field_offeringlink and field_offeringtext. Where the the text would be the actuall promotional text and the link directing to the sub-page.
After this I wanted to create a Block that I would place on the front page, showing these two fields.
I couldn't figure out this part...
So how do I make the bloody block show my fields?

OR

If you have a better idea for this whole shannanigan then I am welcome to ideas.

My goal:

Create a dynamic block on the front page, that shows all the latest training's. Under dynamic I mean, that we can add-remove the links from the admin/content menu.

Thanks in advance!


Question: How complex are sprite tasks usually allowed to be?
Answer: I need to look in the book (so expect an edit later) but the way I view sprite tasks is sort of a "Do While" loop.  It'll execute its task until preset conditions are met.  Rather than give it multiple sets of commands, to me it would only make sense to have subsidiary sprites to deal with interfering tasks. 

Nested conditionals take a huge toll on the GM, especially if they are not technically minded towards following 4 step pseudocode much less priorities and algorithms.

Edit: Page 241 of the 20th Anniversary Edition book says...


  Continuous use of a specific power, whether on a single target
  or a group, counts as only one task. If the parameters of a task are
  changed, another task is used. Engaging opponents in a single node
  in cybercombat only counts as one task, regardless of the number of
  foes involved.
