2. Click Add New View. This brings you to a Views creation wizard to ensure you have the correct basic settings for your view.
3. In the View Name field enter a name for the view.
4. Click Description and enter a description.
5. Under View settings > Show, select one of the following options:
   • Comments Sort options can be specified.
   • Log entries Sort options can be specified.

6. Under Block settings, enable the Create a Block option.
7. Under Block display settings > Display Format section, choose one of the following format options. Depending on what you're showing in the view, you will also have options to select what should display. For example, you can select a grid of teasers, full posts, titles, titles (linked) and fields for content types in the Grid format.
   • Grid
   • HTML List
   • Table
   • Unformatted List
8. In the Items per block field, enter the number of items to display.
