Installing Drupal

I've created a poll and it seems to be working fine but I can't seem to get the "Most Recent Poll" block to appear on the front page

Any of the other blocks that I enable appear.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

The text below the ==== is the actual content I placed on my localhost site. It's a site I am making for a local advertising company, and thought Drupal might be a good use for it. I've got Drupal 4 running, installed Interlaced theme, and added a page to the front page (static on front page) and with the below code. However, when I submit it, the "global $theme;" and all the rest of the PHP code is not evaluated. I have made sure that the type is set to PHP, and it previews fine.

In the handbook, there is a section about multiple directories. "Drupal allows you to setup multiple drupal sites using different directories on top of one physical source tree." But only instructions related to Unix/Linux are given. How to create the same results in a Windows 2000 system?

Is there an annotated list of modules ... like what each does, who might want to use it, etc. Some are self-explanatory, but others are not.

Or is that just a matter of some other doc creation tasks being higher priority at the moment?

I've installed Drupal in Win2000 server. It works OK. I just want to know how to set the permission for the user to see, add, or edit the "blog" of the "node", "book", "forum" ?
Is that possible ?

I also want to know how to create subdirectory in my Win2k Apache Web server (like //localhost/sports/ ; //localhost/music/ ... ) to separate different discussion topic for different user group (roles) ?

Thanks for help !

I've got several questions.

Mailing list-I've signed up for the mailing list, but I've recieved nothing, and there are not directions as to what the address is to send posts. (and no confermation email)

Startpage Links-I'd like to add several links to the default start page, such as a link to my sites webmail etc. I've tried weblink, but it spews errors, and its not really what I want anyway.
