I followed the "Try it out" in Chapter 1 with no problem. But then I get to Chapter 2 and they talk about Team Site and clicking the Task Lin in the Quick launch navigation bar. First I'm starting at the "Corporate Intranet Site" not "Team Site" and I don't see a Quick Launch navigation bar on my site. What did I miss? I can get there by first Clicking on "View all Site Content" and then selecting "Tasks, but I end up at
Corporate Intranet Site > Tasks

not

Team Site > Tasks

Thanks for posting you comments pointed me to the direction I needed to create the task list to create a task.
