How to show a list of recent articles: Title + first X characters

This is a pretty common thing to have.. titles and snippets of news articles.

I don't know how to set this up in Drupal. There's a 'recent content' block, but it shows everything, no snippets and doesn't really have any customization options.

Is there a built in way to do this? Or recommended modules.. or would it be easy to set up using a View? (I don't really know much about views or using them)

Can't Install Themes/Modules through GUI Admin Overlay

I'm having trouble installing modules and themes through the GUI admin overlay.

I go to "Appearance", click "Install New Theme" and paste in the URL (or browse to the tarball on my computer), and click "Install." Drupal claims that the theme has been installed ("Installation was completed successfully"), but when I go to enable the theme, it doesn't show up in the list. The only way I've been able to install new themes is by FTP-ing them to my site's themes folder.

I have the same problem with modules.

Reducing load on server

Hi all,

I have a pretty big site (25.000 visitors, who make around 100.000 page views). Many of those page views are because of a script calling and writing data to the database. To make sure it doesn't consume so much data, I put it outside a module, and use database bootstrap:
