Post installation

hi, i am designing a website that requires users to be able to register and create user profiles, on which other users can comment using an ajax script. I was going to try my luck at php scripts when i ran across this promising community! Could anyone here please point me in the right direction as far as creating a asimple user-account structure with ajax implementation? thankyou in advance!

Hello,
I installed dba.module and I can see my database, inspect tables, etc. and I am able to backup single tables once I click into a particular table and select backup mini-tab. Yet, from the database "main page", backup doesn't work. I select a single table or all tables and clicking "backup" simply reloads the page with no errors. I also think the other buttons don't work -- "Check", "Optimize", "Empty" and "Drop" -- from this page, although I've only verified these on my localhost. The Backup was tested on the linux server.
- Drupal 4.7.4

Does the profile module have a multiple select widget available for it?

As my question no doubt shows, I am very new to Drupal (coming from WordPress) and I am a little overwhelmed. I apologize if the answer is super obvious, but after a number of hours I am just not able to figure it out.

I am starting a very simple Drupal site (http://patrickcrosley.com) where I hope to have 1) info on the main page - news, announcements, etc. 2) a separate location that I can use to post links to music that visitors can access via a primary link and 3) a separate location for a blog that can also be accessed via a primary link. I have set up the basic navigation with the primary links weighted as I want them, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to add pages to the music menu and to start the blog.

I don't want to have multiple blogs and I read elsewhere in these forums that in that case the best way is just to generate content for the blog using "story" content entries and ignore the blog module. Is that good advice? What is the most efficient way to create and maintain a regularly updated blog that visitors can access via a primary link? I assume if I understand that then entering the occasional page content in the Music section will be basically the same process.

I have searched quite a bit, and I am sure I missed something or misunderstood something. I am maybe a bit over my head with Drupal, but I would love to get this working. Any reading suggestions will be most appreciated.

I have added following news feed to News aggregator

but I am getting following warning and do not get any news feed. By the way, I do not have any problem getting the feed through Goolge Reader.

Hello,

I am trying to make the Audio node's download link say simply "download" instead of "download audio file." I've tried using the code below in template.php, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to do this?
