Drupal: how to let the customer to add specific nodes to a view?

I have had good experience with nodequeue. With it the client can choose which nodes and what order to show them. The interface is really good and easy to use.

You can use taxonomy, CCK, tags, node types as filters to grab particular nodes for views. The quickest way is probably using Taxonomy, or a CCK field.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
