Post installation

I hate to be dull. This seems so simple. But, I'm completely new to Drupal and stumbling around in the configuration links is getting tiresome. I think i'm just missing a basic concept:

In most sample drupal sites i've seen--take drupal's own for example--there is a static area on the front page. here's a screencap; i've highlighted the area i'm talking about in red.

Hi!

Hello!
What's the best way to realize the following:
- A taxonomy term page (typically www.mysite.com/taxonomy/term/10) that displays, before the teasers of the pages, a text (i.e. a text to describe the arguments of thats nodes).

thanks

I've got two fields I want in my view:

Link to Transfer

This takes the user to a form to do the transfer

Amount Remaining

This displays the value in field_amount_value

They both need to use the field_amount_value, but they obviously both need to be different names in the array.

So I wrote the code below.

function funds_views_tables()
{
   $tables ['node_fund'] = array(
       //...join here...
   );
  $tables ['node_data_field_amount'] = array(
       //...join here...
    "fields" => array(
      "link_to_transfer" => array(
        'field' => 'field_amount_value',
        'name' => t("Funds: Link to Transfer"), //user friendly name
        'help' => t("Adds a link to transfer funds. Only adds link if money is available"),
        'handler' => 'funds_handler_field_amount',
        'sortable' => true,
      ),
      "amount_remaining" => array(
        'name' => t("Funds: Amount Remaining"),
        'help' => t("Amount of money remaining in fund"),
        'field' => 'field_amount_value',
        'sortable' => true,
      )
    )
  );
  return $tables;
}

It produces an error though:

Hi

I have a Drupal 5.1 site with a number of PDF files located outside the Drupal root directory so that they are not accessible via a url. Visitors won't be creating accounts on this site, but I'd like to give certain users access to download one or more of these PDFs for a limited time based on the visitors Session Id maybe?. For example - a visitor answers a question correctly so I make a PDF available for an hour and only for that user to download.

Hope it make sense! Any ideas how I can achieve this?

There are 2 annoying error messages I have been encountering & I have no idea what could be causing them.

For some reason, when I a new user goes to the registeration page,
I get this =>
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your...

and on the logs page, this error:
