Hello Friends

I have been asked to build an online bilingual magazine. And for this project I have decided to use Drupal. As I mentioned above the website would be an online magazine and the proposers have decided to build a community around it. They also intend to sell e-books and other stuffs through this portal. I think Drupal can be used to satisfy all the requirements.

The last time I’m trying to build multiuser multi blogs site. So every registered user can have his/her own blog. I try to use core blog module with enhacement Flexi blogs as I remember.
So every user can write blog post and that works. What I need is standard blogs blocks like:

Archives
Categories

Archives
When you are logged in as eg. user1 and you look for other user’s blog eg. user20 in the user20’s archive block you should see all his archives block and only them not from other users. If you look for user50’s blog in archives block you should see all her archives. I can’t get such summarization for one user.
For example
user20 has written 3 blog posts
2 in may 2011 and 1 in february 2011
so his Archive block should have
May 2011 (2)
February 2011 (1)

user50 has written 8 blog posts
4 in May 2011 and 2 in January 2011 and 2 in December 2010 so her Archive block:
May 2011 (4)
February 2011 (2)
December 2010 (2)

Categories
I would like to have one standard taxonomy dictionary with terms which all bloggers can use. But if user20 will post will posts his posts only in categories:
term1
term2
term7

only this terms should be visible in block categories, and after click I should get lists of all post from this category which are written by user20.

Hi.
I am reading Structure Guide on this site for learning Drupal 6.
But it have a lot of interesting articles about Drupal 5.
Are methods and code in these articles worthwhile for Drupal 6?
Are there much differences between this two versions?
Thanks.

New to Drupal and have to develop/build a web form for use by anon users.

The form asks them for basic contact details, and then allows them to select some node from CCK.

To achieve this any opinions/advice on a webform approach or a 'views?' approach. This is really about trying to make sure the first step is the right step!

I am new to Drupal and am learning how to do this and that. Here is a problem that I have wanted to solve for some time with a web type solution like Drupal.

Let's say I want to create a management system for a custom build set of parts. For each set of parts (a program) there is anywhere from one to many parts. Each part would have info associated with it like yearly quantity, color, uploaded files, etc.

I can see where I could enter the program information that would be the same for every part...
Customer
Program name
Date
etc.

Hello Drupal community.

I'm completely new to website creation and decided to begin my adventure using drupal.

My question:

Could anyone point me out to a good premade (completely modified/themed/created-in) drupal example website template?

I'd love to learn about the coding from something already set up and if I screw something up just reload the downloaded content. Is there something out there to get me started?

Not sure if this is considered a good way to go about learning drupal but I figured it would give me a good start!

Thanks
