Use the content part news for this.

the problem is i dont know how to do this with news part. can you explain how to do?

1) Create news
2) Open the article where you want to have the news block or use a "service" article that just holds the News content part
3) Create new content part "news"
4) Select template (you can also create a new one)
5) Keep in mind you can use tags and some special filters there too to limit choosen news
6) Think about a target article holding news content part in case you use systemwide* news block
6) Save

*) Remember - you can use content parts in your template systemwide. So check the ID of the news content part and use {SHOW_CONTENT:CP,ID} in your template.

i think you dont get it. my problem is NOT adding news or creating news page. i add news page. add news. and i want news to be shown as a list (like in picture in my first post). just news titles and when user clicks title it will link to news details. can you tell me this? not to add news. please.

P.S. Thanks for answers.

In addition: News

Why you don´t write your own news template to do so? Second use the {SHOW_CONTENT...} tag for position the output in your site template.
It is very easy.

See this template example (I have not tested it). Put it in template/inc_cntpart/news.
