Creating a page and adding it to menu in Drupal

    This is written poorly, I know, but I was in a rush.



    I am not sure I am doing it right

    Example site
    http://animeomnitude.com/dru/

    So I want there to be a section on the site with a list of anime reviews.
    So I create a block called Anime Reviews and put it in left sidebar

    Now I want to make a review about Naruto anime, so I create a page called Naruto Review and in Menu link title: Naruto Review. Parent item: Primary links.
    I write the review in the body. And using url path setting with pathauto module I make the url "review/naruto-review" and get the url http://animeomnitude.com/dru/review/naruto-review

    Now I go to the Anime Reviews block-> Configure and add
    Naruto to the body.

    Is the right methods of creating a page and adding it to a block?

    Instead of creating block, create menu from:
    Administer › Site building > Menu > add menu

    lets say you create menu of name "Anime"


    Now create a page, and in menu setting select Parent item as "Anime".

    Now go to Administer » Site building > Blocks >> and activate "Anime" block.

    Now every time you create a page/story, and select Parent item as "Anime", that page link will automatically be added as menu in "Anime" block.

    Make sure you have set "Anime" block at any location (sidebar, footer etc)
    Than, make sure "Anime" menu has atleast one page/ story. Blank block is not shown by default in Drupal.
