Our goal is to have a menu item called "News", and to have the latest news listed in the Latest News module. However, there is a bit of a problem. The standard Latest News module lists the most recent items from all sections, not just a section called "News". The only recent items that won't show are ones that are already on the home page.

We can solve this problem with a Joomla extension, and in a later tutorial we'll do just that. But for now, we'll just create some news items since we don't have any other published content that isn't on the home page.
