Post installation

I admin it!, I've been drupalbot spammed!

I have a single blog post with comments enabled and I'm the victim of a bot that posted hundreds of comments.

I've searched for all manner of solutions on drupal.org and can't seem to find a simple solution.

There's the spam module but its now a little late.

So, is there a simple administrative method of deleting all of these comments (all anonymous)?

The last resort is to delete all of the comments in the approval queue which is taking ages!

I have ported my site to drupal, so I have problems with changed url's. I solved most of the problems with mod_rewrite, but for some pages the user gets: "Page not found". Now I want that on those pages the user gets displayed similar links. Therefore I installed the "similar"-module, but I don't know how my PHP-statement for block-visibilty has to look like. Any ideas?

I have a root .htaccess file and then in my files directory a second one appears and when I delete it I can do thinks like see photos when running acidfree but when I create a new album or make changes the .htaccess file appears in the files subdirectory and causes 403 forbidden error page.

Can someone tell me how to fix this and in a step by step approach as I have no experience modifying .htaccess files - thanks, Jake.

my wife and i are using drupal for her formum www.wholewoman.com and her blog but i haven't been able to find how to ping aggregators and let them carry her blog on their rss feed. i spoke to our site developers and they sent me to www.pingomatic.com, but i don't want to have to do this manually every time she posts a new blog entry. help! thanks...

Where can find the theme function in the code?

The index.php does create an empty page. I trace down to it and execution stops when it runs this command:

print theme('page', $return);

I have a block with the search form at the top of my site (header position). When I do a search, the advanced search box appears above my search results Ilike a default install of drupal would show). This ends up looking really ugly, because I still have the search in the block, and now I have that search and the advanced search boxes showing. How do I disable this other search box?
