General discussion

I just installed Drupal. Generally I consider myself an intelligent person, but the taxonomy system is completely over my head.

I want my site to have three subjects:

Widgets
Gidgets
Gizmos

I would like to be able to post news, blog entries, and articles about each topic, furthermore I would like each subject to also have a forum.

I have read everything official about the taxonomy system, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to properly do this using drupal's taxonomy system.

How can I do that the user images appear at the nodes, and comments?

I have activated the option to activate user images at user > settings. I have too checked the boxes at the 'theme > settings' to view user images. But nothing works.

Anyone have idea? Ty, Simon.

I am working on a site, I added a "page" and want to know how do I add this to the main menu

home

forums
...

I am sorry if I am just missing it. Drupal feels like a strong CMS, but it has a little higher learnign curve (I think)

There is a website displaying my rss newsfeed but the german umlauts like ä,ü,ö, will not be displayed correctly on this page.

You can see it here:

at my own website all umlauts are displayed correctly, but how can i realize that this it also on other sites if they use my newsfeed?

When I go into admin and select "content" (admin/node) I see a paged list of all my nodes so that I can administer them. In past versions of Drupal, this list was in order with most recently created nodes at the top. There was no way to sort the list by date, name, etc., (nor was there a way to choose how many nodes were listed per page) but at least you could find your most recent nodes - published or not - and adminster them.

Hello,

I am going to cut the preliminaries short. I have been involved with a very special girl for about a month or so, and she has inspired me beyond belief. Just about everything that you can think of that can go wrong in the human body, she has had or currently excperiences. To give you a few examples:

1. She has osteoporosis, which means her bones break very easily, yet she is allergic to plaster of paris. This means that she often has to walk around with broken bones in her body, without being able to have it supported by a cast to help it grow back straight and ease pain.
2. She is diabetic, and because of that (and the cyst she had in her head 5 or 6 years ago), she is totally blind for the last 5 years.
3. She has kidney, heart and liver problems.

I believe you get the picture. If I say too much more, it would sound as if I am asking for donations! Hehehe.

With the background information out of the way (more can be provided to interested parties) I will start with the reason why I am writing this note.

I am trying to orchestrate a whole new living experience for disabled persons, with a focus on Information Technology. We have all the technology available, so why not refine it to be suitable for disabled people.

This project will start on a small scale, in other words, it will benefit only one person to start with (apart from the modules that result from this venture - these will be ploughed into Drupal should they be useful) but eventually, I want to expand to all disabled people in the world by establishing a stable supplier network, good software, and a supportive community.
