Drupal 7.x

Hi

I want to created a website where users can post stories with images and videos to my site and other users can comment on the posts. All i have to do is monitor it at the back end. Anyone know how i can accomplish this? any hints, points?

Im looking to theme the users settings page input by input. Can anyone point me in the right direction for drupal 7?

I'm building a new SSL VPN infrastructure for a company and instead of using the fairly plain(static) pages that the SSL hardware builds I was thinking of setting up a portal page for each group using Drupal. Fancy it up a bit.
The users will be authenticating/authorizing out of AD and groups. So I'm thinking each group would have a page they'd be directed to like remoteaccess.home/engineers, remoteaccess.home/accounting, remoteaccess.home/vendor, remoteaccess.home/default, etc?

I've been asked to make some updates to a website that was built using drupal, but I'm not familiar with the program at all. The owner of the site wants to be able to send out messages (often including pdf attachments) to all subscribers on her site.

Hello everyone, i'm starting with Drupal on a project where i work at, and i need to display a list of the last 3 articles of type "Descuentos" that has been added to the site, and i need to display them in a specific block.
Can anybody tell me how can i achieve this kind of dynamic process in this case?, i still don't get exactly how Drupal works and i'm in a hurry.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I failed to find any step-by-step guides to getting multi-sites working with Drupal 7 on Windows on a local server. I attempted it by piecing together various guides for other versions and systems but had no success. The trouble is, there seems to be lots of different things that need set up and if it doesnt work, unless you are a server expert, it is very difficult to figure out what went wrong. So my question is: is there a way to break up the process of creating multi-sites so I can test it at each stage, and therefore have some hope of figuring out whats going wrong?

For example the stages might be....
1) Install drupal and get one site working
2) Create a second site folder, a second database and change its settings.php etc
3) Editing file 'hosts' and file 'httpd-vhosts.conf' etc
4) Setting aliases in 'sites.php'.
5) I'd also like to move the Drupal files out of the 'programs' area (C:\xampp) and over to my 'data' area.

What I've done for stage 1 and 2 is shown below. Does this look correct? I've got stage 1 working, so can I test stage 2 before I take things further?
Download and extract drupal 7 - you'll get a folder called: drupal-7.0
Move folder into: C:\xampp\htdocs and rename it: drupal
Ie you will have a directory: C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal
In browser: http://localhost/phpmyadmin - create a database called: drupalSite1
