Post installation

Ok - I added the trackback module.... posted my first story with it:
http://www.centernetworks.com/apple-microsoft-entering-social-networking

I added 3 trackback links to the other sites mentioned in the post. Yet when I go to all 3, the trackback does not show up.

So I wonder, how long does it take for it to show up and is there anyway to verify that it actually sent it (i know it gave me a msg that it did but i dont trust it).

Thanks,
Allen

Hi,

I have a simple javascript that diplays a rotating set of banner ads and matches them with the correct URL in their link. On a flat page, this works by dumping the script into the head, and the calling it wherever an empty div with id "mydiv" is placed.

Is this the correct procedure for placing it in a page.tpl.php file as well? I can't get it to work in my page template. Do I have to do anything else to run a javascript?

I am very new to Drupal and am developing a site to manage teams participating in a contest, when someone signs up, rather than calling them a 'user', I would like them to be a 'team' - so they would see 'Team Name' instead of 'User Name'. Is this possible?

Alright, I changed my forum to a new theme and thought I was done so closed my window and closed the machine, now on startup, I realize the theme I chose has no access to login or admin area. How do I force drupal to change the theme it's using?

I'm attempting to use this theme function:

I'm in the process of re-designing one of my sites so that it uses Drupal rather than hand-coded pages. The site consists of a fairly large photo gallery (currently using Gallery 1 but plan to migrate to G2), various pages about things we get up to/thoughts/so forth (will most likely use the blog feature for a lot of this) and also information about therapies my wife does. So all in all nothing to technical and Drupal will easily cope with it all.
