How to Create My Groups block, and what admin theme to use.

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Ok, I'm figuring things out and starting to get a foothold on D7. I turned the corner when I stopped looking at anything for D6.

I'm trying to ad a MY Groups block such as the one used here on Groups.Drupal. I figured that this would be done by creating a view, and then adding it to the panel, or to a block. The thing I can't figure out is how to get the name/s of the group/s to show, and show as a link. I've tried selecting fields, but no field can I find for the group name. I see things like ID, entity ID, State, but no name.

When it refers to field, it is referring to a database table field, or a field on the page, like a text field?

Also, what admin theme do people use? I'm using Seven, but in Amitibu's video, it seems that he is using a different admin theme. All of the D7 videos I've found seems to be using a different theme, because the Views section looks completely different in these videos to what I'm seeing in Seven.

Thanks.
