Drupal 7.x

I understand the default user permissions and role system, it's not unlike most other systems. I'm just not sure where to start with looking to get the functionality I want. The site is basically a listing of vendors. Each vendor gets an "ad" - a simple page where they can write about themselves. Each vendor needs a login and they should only be able to edit their own page.

I'd like to get alt-text to work for at least the log, and if possible, for all pictures in future that might go up on the site. Is there a way in the Bartic theme to enable alt-text field for images? I have no problem changing themes if I must. Thanks in advance.

Have several installations of D7 using Simplescripts on my hosting. (several domains, same hosting)
Each installation automatically under site information has email that is my hosting email.
I have tried to change it several times, after saving changes i get OK message and have flushed several times too, it goes back to initial email.
I guess it is hosting issue, but they say it is not, that they have nothing to do with it.

It it is hosting issue can someone please tell me what should i tell them to do ? Or if it is not what should i do ?

Drupal copied to my hosting account
unpacked
when given the domain name in Internet Explorer
displays a Drupal installation window with messages

Hi
Is it possible that I can link comment title/subject with taxonomy terms, so that when I click any taxonomy term lets say cricket then it takes to me those comments that are posted under category/taxonomy cricket, please help.

Thanks

Well, I've been fiddling around the net trying to learn Drupal. I'm completely new to the web development and using these sorts of utilities. I used DNN for a short time but it had too many flaws for me. Anyways to sum up my experience - I'm not very experienced with these kind of things. Onto my setup:

I'm using Drupal 7.2 and am using the following modules in addition to any core/OOBE modules: Views, Views UI, Date API, Date, Date Views, Calendar, and Chaos Tools. I installed all of those for the Calendar module which I have set as it's own page - and through the available content online I have figured out how to set up Calendar to show my events. So there is no problem here. The problem is:

I am trying to set up a website which would allow the administrator the capability to add events to the calender (which we have already done) and then allow him to append to that event the results of the event (in most cases these events are races). I have added a long text field labeled Results and have added it to the fields for the Event. What I'm needing help with is on a page called Results I want to have a 'blog entry' sort of looking results page, showing the results of the recent races which would get it's information from the Results text box. Sort of like using a variable and cout the variable on this page. Is this possible?
