Post installation

How can I make certain menu items visible to different roles.
For example, I would only allow 'Editors' to add Story or Page content, therefore I only want the menu item 'Add Content' to be visible to 'Editors'.

So far I have to say that Drupal is simply the most workable out of fresh install in comparison to any other free system I've played with.

I already know that Drupal can handle multiple sites using the same codebase.
However, is there anyway, without hacking the code, that you can have those sites use the same User Accounts for logging in?

If code hacking is required for this, than can someone point me to what parts of the code I might have to modify?
Additionally, when updates to Drupal come out does anyone see this as being a nightmare to administer?

System:
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
MySQL 5.0
PHP 5.1
Drupal 5.1
Apache 2.2.4

I was able to run the install script and see "Drupal installation complete" page. It states:

When somebody posts a new comment, it needs to be approved and goes into the approval queue. I was using Wordpress before, where I got an email every time a comment was on queue. Should it be the same with drupal or do I need a special module to get an email notification whenever somebody posts a new comment?

Have installed the image gallery module about find it very complicated to upload images, unless i doing some thing wrong?

When click on create content it loads page with

Submit image

Title

Categories

>> Photoblogs

>> Image Galleries

Image

---

Now if use the above to create a gallery entry the the entry is created but there is no image?

To get it work i have to scroll down to section

Attached Images

If i upload the image from it works but that does not seem right?

I'm working on my main tabs and I just noticed that my home page tab does not activate.

On each of the other tabs, theme_links returns the 'active' class when you are on the page represented by the link. This does not seem to apply to the home page.

I made the home page by creating a page type, giving it an index.html path alias (because I could not assign a blank) and then assigning "index.html" as the Default front page in Administer/Site Configuration/Site information.
