Limit frontblock to display articles/stories only in Drupal

I am new to drupal, so sorry for this noob question, but I was wondering how to display articles only in the central colum开发者_StackOverflow中文版n. Currently there are also blog entries, etc and I would like to get rid of them. I have a Views plugin installed but I am not sure how to do this.

In your View create a filter for Node: Type. Here, you can tell it specifically what kind of content to show.

you can change your frontpage settings in admin/settings/site-information

so let's say you created a view - with a page display set the page url of your view (eg. articles), and then in your settings (the path i mentioned before) you set the drupal frontpage to the page path of your view (that would be 'articles')

i hope that's clear enough for you
