Installing Drupal

I want to make it so I can have a block for new posts. I also want to make the "promote to front page" link go to this block, how can i do this?

thanks, liam

My goal is to use the member and profile module to create a list of members with their details that can be viewed by any authenticated user, but is not visible to Anonymous users. I have enabled the member and profile module, and when a user creates a new account, there are all the form inputs available. However, when an existing user edits their account, they can only edit the standard info - name, email, password, etc.

I've recently implemented the "Simple hack" posted by user "raphaelr" on the
following thread: http://drupal.org/node/view/2693 (note that the code I've used
is NOT the "Language Switch Block" under discussion here but an example posted
by "raphaelr" as a reply to the thread - halfway down the page).



Though the code performs it's stated function most excellently (switching
language as per browser settings), I am also desirous of the extra functionality

Sorry to ask a silly question.

I've installed Drupal 4.3.1. As an user I cerate content. I started by creating a story. I would like to link this story to a specific vocabulary.

How do I do so?

Apparently, in the story creation there's no term definition to link to.

I have created taxonomy entry with Story check before entering my Story. I thought this could let me select it while creating the story. So the only option I got to let my story be visible is to pormote it to front page.

I love some of the changes in the CVS HEAD branch. Just curious what the gustimate feelings are for the time of release?

Is it possible to have an installation of drupal running several different sites with content specific to each, but all sharing the same user base? I am looking to create a network of sites that each have their own content (and have that content be exclusive -- that is, one site's content will not be accessed or linked or searchable by another), but all the sites need to have the same user base. If a user signs up on one, he should be automatically able to access all the other sites.

Is this possible with drupal?
