best setup fora news site, advice needed!!

Hey there..

I want to build a news site in my language using the great vote up down package...But im wondering how to build it.

I basically have two choices:

1) let the users submit every news item like digg.com
2) use agregattor2 to feed news into the site, and the let the people filter them by voting, etc...

I dont mind using the option 2, but what is keeping me from doing it is that I would have liked to use TAGS on every news item so that people can not only filter by region and by main category, but also by TAGS as well...

I though that if the users submit every story then of course the tagging would be easier as each person that submits a story can tag it themselves at the node creation time. Using feeds does not permit the usage of tags, as it would be a colossal job to tag feeds coming from 500+ news sources and blogs around...

On the other hand, im afraid that launching a digg.com like site would be really difficult to start because people in my language are not so used to those web 2.0 stuff yet... so I guess it would take a long time to have a reasonable amount of news published on the site...

So I guess my choice is: 1) lots of feed items (easier to start the site) but no tags OR 2) small amount of news published for a long time, but with TAGS.

What would you do in my place??

Is there anything I missed on drupal that could help solve tis problem (like letting users TAG feeds, easily??)

Looking for a "Drupal friendly" ISP

I'm about to go live with my first Drupal site and I'm looking for a good "Drupal friendly" ISP to host this and other websites in the future. I've been leaning toward Dreamhost or Bluehost for their experience, price point and generally high ratings.

Can anyone speak to these service providers? Any other ISP suggestions? Specifically I need the following features:

TinyMCE and PDF upload

Hello,

I can attach images with TinyMCE (drupalimage). Is there a way so that I can attach PDF's as well with TinyMCE?

TinyMCE only gives paragraphs, no line breaks

Hello,

Every time in TinyMCE when I want to have a line break, tinyMCE makes a paragraph (and leaving an extra blanc line).

My settings are to full html, and I'm using Drupal 4.7.3.

The only thing working is to do a Shift-Enter in TinyMCE. Then I'm getting a normal line-break. But I think that's not the normal way it should be.

Anyone knowing how to get normal line-breaks in TinyMCE?

Thanks in advance.
