Drupal is up and running but how do I ...?

My first Drupal site, http://www.goldenboyband.com/content

I'm a complete Drupal newbie and I have just started on my first Drupal site. Goto http://www.goldenboyband.com/content. Its a site for an indie band. The site is about 70% complete. Let me know what you think. At first Drupal totally confused me but I think I'm getting a better handle on Drupal, though I have so much more to learn. I think I'm a Drupal convert now. It seems so powerful and I'm just starting to understand it's power.

Panels and url question

Ok, I am playing with the panel module and have a question about URL.

I know that panels are made up of blocks and that a panel is not a node. Ok, fine. But when creating a new panel, I have to give the URL of the "path/to/page". So, if the panel is not a node, what URL do I declare?

clarification please!

newbie taxonomy and URL question

Excuse my newbie question and feel free to point me to somewhere in the handbook...

so I have set up a new drupal site with some categories and terms. I have a term called Books which has a URL like taxonomy/term/2. Is there a way to set the URL http://www.whateversite.com/books to pull up taxonomy/term/2?

thanks.

Is there a limit to the number of blocks?

We are setting up a quite ambitious multilingual Drupal site (check out at http://www2.bridge-initiative.org), and are about to finish, but encountered a problem in managing additional blocks. We have created still another multilingual block, which will have 5 language versions. I have succeeded in creating the first of those 5 blocks, but Drupal now doesn't accept anymore. Any other simple block I create replaces my previous block (takes its name, and place in the multilingual block setting).

Changing CCK title

I'd like to edit CCK so that the title pulls data from a field_first_name and field_last_name.

I searched the Drupal forums extensively and found a few questions about the same thing, but never an answer that has worked for me. I found (http://drupal.org/node/79671) but it doesnt quite work for me. When I use it instead of getting the data from field_first_name I get the text: "field_first_name".

Here is an excerpt of the content.module code:


function content_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
// Check if we are on a node editing form for our type.
if (isset($form['#node']) && ($node = $form['#node']) && $form_id == $node->type .'_node_form') {
if ($node->type == 'content-player_profile') {

$form['title']['#type'] = 'value';
$form['title']['#value'] = 'field_first_name';

}
}
return $form;
}

/**
* Implementation of hook_nodeapi().
*
* When a revision is deleted, make sure the appropriate cache item is cleared.
*/
function content_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser, $page) {
switch ($op) {
case 'delete revision':
if (content_types($node->type)) {
_content_field_invoke('delete revision', $node);
_content_field_invoke_default('delete revision', $node);
cache_clear_all('content:'. $node->nid .':'. $node->vid);
}
break;

if ($op == 'validate' && $node->type == 'content-player_profile') {

e-commerce install issue

I'm having a problem installing e-commerce module. I downloaded it unpacked it then put e-commerce folder with its contents in modules folder. After I do this I click on the modules link on my site but it doesn't load. It acts like its reloading page to show new module options but then nothing, the current page just stays there. For example say I was at settings page then clickedd modules link. It just stays at settings page. Of course when I remove e-commerce folder everything returns to normal.
