Post installation

I'm trying to post a blog entry to a group, but I don't have the group option and I can't find where to set it in the settings. I would have thought it would be set in administer>settings>content types>blog but it isn't there and its not under admin>settings>og either. Anyone know where I can change it so that I can post a blog to a group?

cheers

Alright, I have managed to get not only one drupal website uploaded to the web but two. Now that they are up and working I have only managed to do basic things like add themes and pretty much modify stuff via the GUI on my drupal site. That is going alright but my problem is now in the customization of my site's theme and features.

I do not know PHP, at all. I barely know HTML, I pretty much used Front Page then Dreamweaver most of my life and skipped over code beyond the very, very basics. I have issues just reading and learning code from a book or website. I was a History major in college, I read a lot and work as a reporter now, I like words and pictures. Code and math looks like Chinese to me when its just listed in giant columns with tiny little explanations about what it does. I even bought a book entitled "Building Online Communities With Drupal, phpBB, and WordPress." I have followed the directions exactly about adding basic code, like getting different fonts in TinyMCE to work. I have followed the directions three times, copied the code exactly and the damn fonts still do not show up so I feel like a big idiot!

So my dilemma is that I need a place where the directions about code are tied directly to actions if such a thing even exists. i.e. "If you want to add a graphic banner at the top of your page with links embedded to separate pages in the graphic, then you need to type this exact code and modify this file on this precise line. Then you need to add the image to xx folder," and so on. I can learn things, but I need them to be tied directly to actions and be laid out clearly. Honestly I need a guide that is so dumbed down it would say something like "would you like to change the colors on the bluemarine theme to something else? Then open xx file and change xx color number on xx line. In this fashion I feel that I could learn PHP, but all I can seem to find around here or in books is code, lines and lines of code with little explanation about what else I need to modify or where the code goes.

Using 4.7.4 I'm having a problem with the display cutting off the bottom part of the display of a set of adsense text ads in the right column. In IE the display is complete, but with Firefox or Opera the bottom part of the last ad is truncated (Firefox) or the 'advertise on this site' link is gone (Opera). I've tried tinkering with the css at some length to no avail using min-height 100% and height 100% and also paying attention to the container height. My assumption has been that it's to do with the css, but I'm not completely certain of that.

Hi,

I recently started a test site, added a lot of modules which seemed useful and played around a bit. However I´m realy in doubt which combination of modules I should use to reach the desired result. There are so many modules that I sometimes don´t see which ones I should use.

I am trying to create a simple form w/ forms API but have no idea how to do this. I have created a page at ?q=node/214. I want to pass some values through the form to this page so that the URL shows up as ?q=node/214&value=3 for example. What am I doing wrong w/ a form like the one below?

drupal keeps all upload stuff in "files" directory, but how can i prevent users direct download stuff via http://myDrupalSite.com/files/stuff ?

is there any way to force users must be login my drupal site before download stuff which under "files" directory? or any alternative advice?

thx in advance!
