Making the changes

Now that we have a plan, let's get busy!

Improving the Frontpage view

Navigate to Structure | Views (/admin/structure/views). Scroll down to the Frontpage view. This is one of the views that comes with Drupal. We could modify it, but it is a good practice to leave the original unchanged and, instead, make a duplicate to modify, which is what we'll do here:

1. Fromthe drop-down in its row, select Duplicate.
2. In the View name text box that then appears, change the name to Frontpage - Custom and click Duplicate.
3. On the View configuration page, we will change the number of items that the view displays. It is currently configured to show 10 items and a pager, but we will change it to show only one. Click Full and select This page (override) from the drop-down. Select the setting for Display a specified number of items, and click Apply (this display).
4. In the Pager options dialog, change the Items per page to 1, click Apply, and then click Save.
5. Return to the views list at /admin/structure...
