Post installation

Having scoured these forums I've found many a post that skirts the issue but none that smack it on the head with a hammer.

I'm a blogger with a little experience, I've been using Wordpress for many a moon and it has been said to

has a reputation for being very user friendly

An example of why it is so user friendly: You want to setup a hierarchy of pages you write the page pick a parent and it works out the URL for you. You write a page of the root with 'about' as its 'node' then a sub page with 'why' as its node and parent of 'about' and you get {root}/about/ and {root}/about/why/ respectively. Its done and dusted straight of the initial install in 60 seconds and 40 secods of that was typing the pages!

So you can do something similar in Drupal, but if you type in {root}/why/ you go to what would be displayed at {root}/about/why/.

So what do you need to do this in Drupal? You need the path.module and the pathauto.module. But finding the documentation on what settings to get the system to work like wordpress is near impossible, but finding implementations of this in drupal the real world is easy. And still if you type in {root}/why/ you go to what would be displayed at {root}/about/why/.

So the questions are:

I have a site only used for folks who are logged in. The only page viewable by the anonymous user is the login page. I do have a fair amount of traffic though, and would love to be able to use cacheing. It would be perfect if I could set only certain taxonomy terms to cache. Has anyone done something like this? Is this something anyone else would be interested in?

I'm building my first 4.7 site and am loving all the improvements over 4.6. Drupal and everyone in the community rocks! but enough ass kissin ...

I am making use of the book feature extensively for static type of content on the site, particularly for describing the organizations programs, about us pages and pages asking for support from the community.

Taxonomy Lists inside books

The book feature allow me to specify any node type page as "living" inside the structure of the book, which is great, but I want to be able to specify that certain taxonomy pages live within the book. ie. give me a node teaser list showing all the nodes that match certain criteria. Actually, I just realized, that I could probably use the Views module to create these pages and then attach them to the books structure. If you have other suggestions for how to achieve this, please let me know.

System Pages

I use the feedback module to create a "Contact Us" page. It serves my needs well, but I can't figure out how to get the resulting page to live within the structure of my book. I like for the Contact Us page to reside within the About Us section of the site. Does anyone have any idea how I can acheive this?

If you want to see the work in progress, you can see the test site at cabwhp.webemulsion.com/about_us. If you click on Contact Us, it will forward you to the conta

How can I modify my template to have rounded courners and borders around the nodes?

All of my nodes are kind of blending in so I want to place a border on them.

Here is my website: http://www.chicagolanddining.com/drupal/node

I'm trying to import articles from our old DB, so I create the node object, set $node->title, body and so on, taxonomies too and everything goes well.

But when I try to save the creation date of the node NOT to be current moment, it fails:

Is there php or html code that I can use to place a search box within a node on my website?
