Drupal 6.x

regularly you would use the tokens but for large areas of plain text or a textarea of a node should t() even be used? checkplain then t or t then checkplain? I have not had a need to translate anything yet so this is confusing me a little

Hi,

I am having a problem when trying to install the 6.0 Beta, The directory files does not exist. To proceed with the installation, please ensure that the files directory exists and is writable by the installer. If you are unsure how to create this directory and modify its permissions, please consult the on-line handbook or INSTALL.txt.

The Installer.txt says 3. CREATE AND GRANT WRITE PERMISSIONS TO FILES DIRECTORY

In my search block on the home page the search box is preceded with the text "Search this site", what is the preferred way to remove that text? thanks -chris

Hey ya'll.
I feel pretty pathetic and i am discourage. I am very new to anything remotely like this and i guess i decided to just jump right in. I have a friend that is going to help me with html and such. My problem is that i have been reading all these install help forums, but i am completely new at this and i have no clue what is being said. If there is someone that could be patient and give me step-by-step guidance on how to install drupal and get it going. that would be amazing! please help.
