is possible insert simply upload image in blog?
(no image.module, it is too complicated)
it should not be a lot of difficulty, but I don't know whether to do this.

Hello,

I am working with an NGO to redesign their website, and it has been bantied about that perhaps we consider using drupal. I have some basic experience with drupal from toying around with an older release at another ngo´s office from a few months ago, but realistically I am a new user.

Basically, if anybody has any advice on the following topics i would be quite grateful:

1. What is the reliability of drupal. Once the site is operational, is there an ongoing need for technical assistance to maintain the site? I ask as there will be no support as the organisation has no technical personnel and our technical department is a 14 hour flight away....

2. Should a server go down, what is a realistic timeframe to bring back a drupal website and who will need to do this? (ie. with the current version of the website, when they lost the site recently, they just took a cd-rom copy of the site they had and ftp´d it when the service was operational again). If anybody can provide some more light as to an ideal back-up process as well as a brief explanation with the recovery sequence i would be most pleased.

3. integration between a drupal and basic html site. There is interest on the organisations part to continue publishing their quarterly publication (which uses pdf files) in html as they like the control and security and ease of use. However, they would like to use drupal for news, agenda, forums. Is it possible to combine drupal with static html pages?

Dear readers,
I would like to use Drupal for my companies' extranetsite. I am willing to put a lot effort in it so I can help other Drupal users in the feature. I have some great plans :)
Question is, are these plans possible with Drupal. I have read a lot already on the site, but sometimes I have the feeling that I fail to understand the concepts. So I hope someone can shed a light on my Drupalpath. So here goes:

1.My company has 4 departments, each with a different housestyle colour. Is it possible to create 4 'looks' in one Drupal environment?

I have old web pages that I'd like to import into Drupal. Pasting the HTML in as a new node is easy enough but what I'd like to do is retain the time/date that the original page was last edited and have that as the creation date of the new node. Is it sufficient to manually tweak the `created column', and (possibly) the `changed' column in the nodes table? I.e.:

UPDATE NODE SET created = creationtime WHERE nid = whatever;

Or is there a gotcha that I'm forgetting or don't know about? (Being pretty new to Drupal makes the latter highly probable. :-) )

TIA

I'm trying to install on 2k and I can't get the first page to come up. I get the message:

Fatal error: Table 'drupal.variable' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM variable in C:\www\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 90

PHP 4.3.3
SQL 4.0.15
Apache 2.0.47

I had problems building the database but made it past that step. All seems to be well, sql, php and apache. I should be seeing the site when I browse to http://localhost/. I'm sure I crossed my hands somewhere but I cannot find it.

Any ideas?

Please help me.
