Also you can use any number values, you can start with 10, and increment to 20 or 25 ot whatever. Just remember the display order in the story is based on the numeric value you assign. If you check the Publish checkbox, and apply changes, your story will be published and visible to others. To view stories, simply click on [b]Stories[/b] from the top menu.
