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

Acidfree Title Changes

I am using the acidfree module for a family oriented site. Basically, people can upload their pictures to the site to share with the rest of the family in a cental location.

The question I have is how do I modify the tabs/title of the acidfree module. I can change the menu links easily enough to say phot albums (instead of acidfree albums) and under create content to say photo.

However, when I click on the create content link, while photo shows up as a sub-link, in the main page, it still says acidfee media. How do i change this to say "photo"?

How to have a static html page as a node

Hi,
I have a web site similar to a portal. I have some links in the page that leads to another static html page.
Now i want to import all my things to the drupal. I successfull installed drupal and it is up and running. Now in it i am trying to have a primary link, when i click it in turn it should show it's own navigation nodes and the static page for that one.
The nodes will vary for each primary link.
Some nodes should be visible for anpnymous users also.
Please help me how to do this one.

WebserverAuth + Intranet + Specific Requirements

I'm currently setting up an intranet site with drupal. I'm using the WebserverAuth module on top of Apache+mod_sspi to give me windows domain level authentication. So far everything is working great, I can control access to resources using mod_sspi + all new users get drupal accounts created automatically and are logged in.

However, therein lies the problem. Because all users are automatically logged in the site does not get to use it's super drupal caching, and since most users will not ever create content (perhaps the odd forum post) this is a serious waste of resources. My server maxes out at 65 ~ 70 hits a minute! With caching working this could easily be 65 ~ 70 a second. (As shown by Dries benchmarking).

Here is what I would like to do. I want new users to have accounts automatically created, but I do not want them logged in thus remaining an anon. user. I would like them to be automatically logged in when they attempt to perform an action that requires it i.e. When clicking 'Please login to post a comment' or 'my account' they will be logged in instantly and sent to the correct form/page/section straight away. I would then use the autologout module to logout the users after an hour or so.

Doing this would mean that I would gain all the benefits of the caching, the webserver authentication and the automatic account creation with a minimal hit to user workflow.

Taxonomy Theme module - change template selection method

We have a working Taxonomy Theme module installed and have used the Vocab-based template selection method. Is it okay to change the template selection method to "term-based" or will it also affect the themes attaced to the current vocabularies?

Questions Gallore......

OK so I have my Drupal installation up and running - Thanks for the recommendation to use Siteground. Awesome Drupal hosting (screw GoDaddy.com). Anyways I have a ton of questions so here goes:

My site: http://www.cornelliers.com

1. I would like to use the Amazon module for book reviews but is there an End Users guide or examples of anyone using it? I just want my images and data to comefrom Amazon but cant figure it out.

2. I had a blog on community server and now I have exported it to html or asp. Am I going to have to manually input all those entries back in or is there an import tool?

3. I cant ever imagine going away from Drupal now that I have it...however...I dont want to be stuck inputting all my blog entries in manually ever again. I was thinking about using wordpress and have it setup. Is there any way to export any of my content to wordpress as a backup for standards sake? Or is there any way to integrate Wordpress as a backend blog engine without anyone knowing :)

4. Is there a mass import module for uploading images into galleries?

5. Does anyone know of a TV show review module? (We have movie, book, etc.) Heck at this point I would take a universal review module as long as I could populate it with Amazon data.

6. I have had to start over like 3 or 4 times during this process. Is there a backup module available? Basically I would like to have an admin option to click and zip my entire install (DB too.) into a zip file for easy recovery and development?
