Drupal 7 and The Web Comic List

I recently migrated my webcomic to Drupal 7 (that was already mentioned in the announcement section), after I migrated the site over everything worked the way that I expected it to. Most of the comic listing web pages my site is tracked on had little or no issue with the upgrade to my site. One of the obvious exceptions this was The Web Comic List. I had gone over to the site an noticed it was no longer being crawled and the listing was not being updated with the latest comic posting date.

The reason was because their crawler looks for the following information in the site code: <!-- Last Update: dd/mm/yyyy --> with the date code being the date the most recent comic was posted. Since I was not willing to manually update that information every time I posted a new comic, I looked for a way to do it automatically. I found a few code snippets over here in the forums that make that possible, and after a little trial and error I was able to find the right place for the code to be inserted into my site to have it work with their crawler.

Front page only is corrupted

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my front page only; the footer and the right column appear below the left column. This just started to happen so I restored the database to an earlier date and it temporarily fixed the issue. About 2 hours later it happened again. I have cleared the cache and re installed the theme but nothing seems to work.

Here is the site: http://hoosierlacrosse.com but if you click on any of the links (other than going back to the home page) the problem disappears.

Thank you!

Making my website.

I was reffered to Drupal by one of my college prefessors. I plan on creating my own website. My own business. I am going to buy my own domain and host. However, I do not plan on doing this for another 6 months, to a year. I obviously do not know the anwser to this or I wouldnt ask. Can I go ahead, and download drupal and basically make my site, and get it how I want it pretty well, then when I buy the domain, get what I have created and basically copy and paste or is that not how this works? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Is anyone really bothering with Drupal 7?

I'm trying to understand whats going on with Drupal Versions these days.

It seems as though a lot of the modules I need for D7 (View / CTools / Panels) are still in alpha, beta and RC... (I dont trust this kind of stuff for client websites).

So I've been sticking with drupal 6 because it just seems rock solid stable at this point.

Drupal 7 has been out for a year(?) at this point, why are so many modules struggling to get out of the unstable development phase?

Views Module: Can it customize the aggregator source page?

I would like to customize the aggregator source page (e.g. aggregator/sources/1). I want to add some formatting so it's not just a straight list of items.

With the views module, I can create a new view for each feed individually and customize it. But I'd like to be able to have customize a view for all content with the type of aggregator source. Is this possible to do in the Views module? Or is there a better way to do it?

Does Drupal have a polls feature?

I am likely going to have a Drupal 7 site developed shortly and would like to know, does it include a polls module or even have the option of adding one? We'd like to be able to take polls on our website either as part of an article or just on it's own and then be able to display results.
