I just installed OP (I haven't upgraded to the latest version yet) and very much like what I see. I'm having trouble understanding how I get articles to appear in various menu items, however. For instance, how do I make an article appear in the "Business section," for instance? Do I set some tag that I cannot see? Thanks for the help and I want to repeat how pleased I am with OP.

Out of the box, Menus are for
Out of the box, Menus are for demonstration purpose only. You can change them from menu administration system: http://yourdomain.com/admin/build/menu. Primary Links is the one driving the blue menu you see.
By default, the menu items lead to articles listing pages filtered by taxonomy terms. Default taxonomy terms are from Calais Document Category vocabulary and assume that you have configured Calais API key after installation and are indexing content with OpenCalais.
If you don't do any of that, you can just enter terms in the Topic vocabulary (see: admin/content/taxonomy) and update menu links to point to appropriate URLs. For instance if "entertainment" is a term in Topics vocabulary, you can create a menu item pointing to: articles/entertainment and it will list all articles tagged with "entertainment".

I am linking to two screen
I am linking to two screen shots. One shows you the menu item in the primary menu. Two shows the view. As you can it's possible and very complex for a beginner. I'm not going to write a tutorial how to do it because there is lots of information throughout the web and on Drupal.org. I just want to show you one way of doing it. Perhaps it's not the most efficient. In Drupal there are always many ways to do something.
I'm all for people finding materials on Drupal.org and elsewhere and perhaps combining them into an OpenPublish tutorial. So if you do find more information about this we should consolidate it into some type of openpublish survival guide, crash course tutorial.
