Post installation

Let me first state some facts:
1. I am not a programmer.
2. I have installed drupal and my site is running smoothly.
3. I am interested in learning how to design webpages in drupal like the commercial webpages.

This is the problem:
1. Where (or how?) do I start?

For those interested in helping me out, please simplify the highly technical terms to everyday language.

Thank you.

I have already installed and uninstalled several times filemanager and acidfree modules but the problem persists.

How can I print out a themed CCK node within a block? I can use node_load(), but of course this isn't themed. I tried using node_view() and theme_node(), but they incorrectly use the node.tpl.php instead of the node-content-xxxxxxxxxx.tpl.php.

I am going crazy trying to get a simple form to work. The user needs to select an image as the background for a special content type.

So the solution should be to create unpublished nodes for all images, then have the user select the node with the image from a drop-down list. This is insanely complicated, and the user doesn't get thumbnails or any other interactive indication.

I need to read the node, extract the image and place it in the background in node-content-business_card.tpl.php.

hello,
i'm messing about with a drupal site, and the Primary Links are showing up twice. i clicked on "edit primary links" and added a few links. using blue marine and 4.7, i expected the links to show in the header, on the right hand side only. they are there, but a second set seems to have shown up in the header, on the left, under the site name. the second set appears to have differnt CSS applied to it.

Is there any way to avoid this and have it go to the forum's view page?

Can I somehow make forums be excluded from the product module?

cheers
