Information on taxonomy page

Hi all,
I'd like to have my taxonomy pages present a little background information to my users. Right now i am considering using a sticky post to do this ... but is there another way that people solve this problem? Something more elegant? Basically what i want is to have a taxonomy term include text like:

These articles below are articles involving High Heeled Stomping Boots.

... articles follow

how do people do this, the elegant, Drupal way?

Blocks not showing up

Hi all,

I have a rather strange problem that only happened a few days ago. I just added a few new modules to test out and I can't get their blocks to appear on the site. I've given them access and have ticked them in the modules section, and the page refreshes and says "block settings saved" but no new blocks appear... The new modules were the autologout and buddylist module, but that shouldn't have an affect on their visibility, should it ?

Very strange....

Any suggestions as to why this is happening, or what I've forgotten to do?

Thanks

Ocadia theme- need a little help

I am willing to donate $20 either personally or to drupal.org if someone can help with the following in the Ocadia theme. It mostly involves adding small bits of code to page.tpl.php and some css classes in style.css. Should not be more than half an hour's work for someone who know the job.

The added benefit will be that they will be given back to the community as this is one of the nicer themes, though fixed width:

problem with older stories nesting in newer ones and the layout is getting ripped apart

Hello I have been messing with drupal for a short period of time and never started to get tons of content on the site, I have recently becan to understand how things can be organized using such a cms. Well i started to add a bunch of stories and created some catagories to beging organizing some things, well if you look here http://americanproperties4u.com/node?from=10 you can see whats happening.

Aaagh! Munged my menus!

Greetings, all. I've made a small mess of menus, and hope this is easily fixed...

I have two (sparse, modest) Drupal sites operational. I have a third, local site I use for (often questionable) experiments.

On my local site, I reconfigured the administration menus into something much easier for me to use, moving many items out of the Navigation menu and into separate menus of like items: content-related settings in one menu, log-related items into another menu, etc.

I liked it so much, I wanted to migrate the same setup to my operational sites. Rearraging the long list of administrative menu items, for each operational site, would be a huge job, so I looked for a more direct way to do it. I was about to pester the forums, but decided to try my own hand first.

The answer seemed obvious: export the _menu_ table from my local site's db, and replace each operational site's menu table with that.

And it seemed to work great, too. The operational sites gained the nifty new menu structure. All was well.

But then I realized the problems:

1) Existing menus that were unique to each operational site have disappeared. Doh! This should have been obvious from the start! [slaps forehead, says "what in Hastur's name was I thinking?"]

It's not a big problem for me; I didn't even notice it right away, as the operational sites didn't have much in the way of extra menus. It wouldn't be hard to re-create them by hand. Except:

Is there a way to unpublish events automatically after their date?

I know about the schedule module, but that requires extra information to be entered on every node. Event nodes already have dates. It would seem a very common requirement to have events disappear once they are past. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
