Hello,
I have to build a webpage of a newspaper and I seriously consider do this with OpenPublish.
I have advanced knowledge of Wordpress and Joomla, but I am newbie to Drupal.
I installed OpenPublish and I started doing the first tests, but I have a major problem. The homepage that comes default order the news chronologically. This is not what I want. I want to order the news manually, and rank the order in which they appear, such as www.elperiodico.cat or www.elespectador.com (this is a Drupal version 5 site).
How can this be done in OpenPublish?
Thank you.

Use the 'nodequeue' module
Use the 'nodequeue' module (Administer->Content management->nodequeue)to build your lists of articles/blog posts/events/whatever, then put these different node queues into block 'views' (Administer->Site building->Views).
Then go into the 'context' module (Administer->Site building->Context), click override on the 'frontpage' context and replace the 'Left Sidebar' OR 'On Top of Content' blocks with your newly created nodequeue views blocks.
nice wee video on how to setup nodequeues and put them in 'views' here : http://learnbythedrop.com/drop/160.
Hope this helps.
