Tutorial for including content across all pages

Is there a tutorial that shows a step-by-step description of how to include content from one application in all pages on a site? I'm building a site that will have 5 headlines in a "left nav" area of the site. Those headlines will carry through all pages. Each headline will link to a story in a "

Once again, thank you. I've learned a ton from this list and I appreciate the patience everyone shows. I'm going to be launching a site soon. It's not nearly as complex as some of the other Django sites I've seen out there, but I think it's going to turn out quite nice. --~--~-~--~~

I thought I did that by FTP'ing the Django files from my local pc to my shared hosting account. Before I did that, I deleted the django directory on the shared account. I wasn't sure if just ftp'ing the files would suffice, so I wiped out the .91 version that was there. No apologies are necessary
