preparing for D7

I'm somewhat of a newcomer to Drupal but have been following the latest developments very closely. After reading the slides posted at webchick.net, I'm quite interested in what it's going to take to get my current installation (6.13) compatible with D7 when it comes out.

For security reasons I always try to stay up to date. But I often find that I spend most of my time managing my Drupal installation and modules rather than creating content. Unfortunately I'm just a one-man operation so right now I'm trying to plan the best way to stay current with D7 while also making free time to contribute to website.

Modules
It seems that D7 has absorbed some of the most useful modules in the core. I know that when I first started with WordPress I went crazy with my plugins and after a SQL injection or 2 I learned my lesson.

My current D6 installation has quite a few modules that certainly add functionality, but I wouldn't consider critical. For my D7 plan, I'm hoping to rely strictly on the Core to build a feature-rich CMS that is also easy to maintain. While there are some modules that add incremental improvements to my site (i.e., Read More tweak) to follow the K.I.S.S guidelines I may leave them out.

Session ID changes

I have php code outside of the Drupal installation, but on the same domain.

I get one Session Id on Drupal and another on the outside php pages.
I'm printing session_id() and they are on the same domain.

I need them to be the same, how do I do that?

Does Drual set it's own session id somewhere?

regards
Anders

I can't make my site's title look OK!

I've had my site up for a long time and have tweaked it a lot. The one thing I just can't seem to manage, though, is getting the site's title looking OK. I mean it still says "www.andrewgubb.com". Can't I change this??

Check it out: www.andrewgubb.com

Thanks,

Disable core CSS files in Drupal 7

Hi,
How can I disable stylesheets that are provided by Drupal core? I mean especially defaults.css, system.css and system-menus.css. Those are so messed up that I would prefer to rewrite and split them to my custom stylesheets.

In Drupal 6 I could prevent Drupal from loading core stylesheet by defining them in info file. Sample:

stylesheets[all][] = defaults.css
stylesheets[all][] = system.css
stylesheets[all][] = system-menus.css

Of course this made no sense (enable stylesheets to disable them?!). But it worked.

Looking for a particular theme

I like the idea of this site:
www.carm.org
(Although I don't like the content.)
Someone said this was probably done with drupal. If so, could anyone direct me to the theme that this was done with? Regarding using drupal, is it as easy as Wordpress? Thanks, Gary
