Sweet, thanks Rachel, I'll definitely check out that extension.
So far I've gotten the following code to do what I want:
<r:find url="/articles">
<ul class="list2">
<r:children:each order="asc" limit="20" >
<li>
<h3><r:title /></h3>
<p class="excerpt"><r:content part="excerpt" /></p>
<p><a href="<r:url />">Read this article</a></p>
</li>
</r:children:each>
</ul>
</r:find>
What would I need to add to this so that Radiant only pulls pages that have
excerpts (to stop it pulling things like "contact us" pages or menu pages etc.?
Thanks!
