The Views Module provides a flexible method for Drupal administrators to control how lists of posts are retrieved and presented. By default, Drupal has this type of funtionality built into its architecture. For example, you're front page is essentially a view of the most recent posts or, when you click on a taxonomy term, you are presented with a view of all posts related to that term.

In this tutorial, we have 3 goals:

1. Enable users to upload pictures and embed them into their story posts

2. Create a smaller thumbnail version of that picture that appears in the trimmed post on the front page.

3. Create a photo gallery that builds itself using the embedded images

Step 1: Download, Uncompress, and Upload Required Modules
