Post installation

Hi folks.
I am new to Drupal, and I am trying to understand its mechanisms before diving into the coding custom modules for the website of a forthcoming magazine I'm working on.
Talking with the editorial board, we decided to let people comment on articles (stories) but just on the forum.
So I would basically need to tie each article to a forum discussion in an appropriate room (according to the taxonomy); this model is present in many websites, like arstechnica, for example.

All i need to do is somehow attach a file to blog posts, and also use some kind of WYSIWYG editor for test fields, ....

I have found the answers on multiple forums here, ..but nothing works for me and i have tried the following

I would like to know how to palce Text and images anywhere in my content area - or in the sidebars for that matter. I have created a page, but all you get is an area to type in body text. I want some text, a line, an image, then some more text. Text and image needs to change from page to page. Other CMS's I have used have an image and text/html modules that can be placed in any pane.

Since I am tired of getting "robots.txt not found error" on my log file, I have decided to put one. JUst wanted to ask what should be the strucutre of it ? I mean what directories should I block ?

Hi Drupaleers

I am using Drupal 5 with the correlating CCK, workflow and actions modules to have a form that once sumbitted sends an email.

The problem is the "from" in the email is similar to " =?UTF-8?B?RnJvbTogU1BJREEgUG9ydGFsIGZvciBIaWdoY29tIFNlY3VyaXR5IFNlcnZpY2U=?=.=?UT......"

In 4.7 it was a normal addy..

Please assist.

Thanks

I have been using Gallery2 and the associated module with my site but am trying to simplify things. So I am switching for the moment to the image module for my pics. I can move all the photos from the Gallery2 directory on my webserver to the /files/images directory in my Drupal setup. But how do I go about persuading the image.module to recognize the new files? Do I need to download them all and then upload them one at a time into the new image galleries? Thanks
