Well I hope this is right place to ask this question. I am trying to use the Everything Engine to make a monkish web site on my system at home. I have put this code ... 
[%
my $limit;

$limit = int($$VARS{newnodes_limit}) if (exists $$VARS{newnodes_limit}
+);
$limit ||= 15;

my $str;
my $ref = getNodeWhere({}, "", "createtime DESC", $limit);

foreach my $N (@$ref) {
    $str .= linkNode($N) . "<BR>\n" if $N->hasAccess($USER, 'r');    
}

$str;
%]

... in to the "front page" of my site at home. It spits links to the newest nodes. What I can't figure out is how to create a nodegroup and display the first node of a thread with some of its text. Much like how perlmonks does it :)

Can anyone give me some advice. Maybe someone from pmdev?

Thanks!
