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

Form with submit goes to front page... why?

I added a simple form with one input field and a submit button. The form's action was set to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. When the submit button is pressed, the user is sent back to the front page. Why doesn't it stay put? And how do I ensure that it does?

newbie question

I want to add a centered image to only my front page below mission statement. How do I do this? I tried using a block but it ends up under content area, i.e. recent blog posting. I tried hand coding it into page.tpl.php but then its on all my pages.

Thanks. . .

Call me crazy, but how exactly do you /send/ newsletters to the subscribed users? I have users able to subscribe, and I have an 'add newsletter' button.. But I cant seem to find any send button or anything. Just 'sent items', 'drafts', 'newsletters', 'subscriptions' and 'settings' tabs. Is anyone able to guide me? Thatd be sweet! Thanks!

Major Development Issues!

Alright, where to begin. I am working on developing my custom user profile page, and have run through some development issues that I would like to share with everyone. Hopefully together we can work through them, and post the solutions for everyone to see.

For starters, lets keep in mind that all of this will be refrencing use in 4.7.(3), and preferably snippet codes that can be used anywhere on the site; example: user_profile.tpl.php.

1. How to display user roles?
One of the option fields I would like to display, is the user's role. For example, authenticated users, site administrator, w.e. I set through the normal system roles / access control administrator fields.

2. User Points?
Simply display the # of userpoints that a user has.

3. Status?
Display online or offline, if the user is currently logged in on the site or not.

4. Last Login?
The time in years/months/weeks/days/hours/minutes that the user was last logged into the site.

5. Recent Blog Posts?
More then just the users recently created nodes, but specifically their recentley created blog entries.

6. Recent Forum Posts?
More then just the users recently created nodes, but specfically their forum posts.

6. Recent Comments?
Same as above but comments

7. Modified/Cleaner Buddy List display.
The code that I am currently using is as follows:
<?php
