Post installation

Oh boy! Setting up a website even using Drupal does not seem to be straight forward task. I have noticed a problem. I am unable to log into the CMS when I use the parked domain name as URL (http://www.wisetome.com), but I can do so, when I put the web host URL directly (http://kmaheshbhat.astahost.com).

This is not my first post here. My first post did not get answered, but I think I was not clear there. So, I hope to make myself clear here, as I do require assistace. I do not seem to find solution for the problem that I will illustrate below.

I have already registerd for the domain wisetome.com and parked it against kmaheshbhat.astahost.com.

Also, for illustrating the problem I am facing, I have created a user with the following details for my site:
Username: joe
Password: joe
(This is a temporary user that I will be deleting later).

Drupal 4.6.5

What I'm trying to do is edit what is displayed in the right sidebar and need to know where the content comes from and how I can edit individual items of the blocks that are set to be displayed in the right sidebar. Can anyone give any hints? How would I add my own custom div around the login information for example?

Your advice would be much appreciated!

I have been having a problem that seems to originate in a Hit Counter block that I wrote myself, but has no obvious cause.
On every page that has the hit counter, you get a blank page when you submit a form, such as a search or login. In the error log, I get a 'Cannot modify header information - headers already sent' error. I have checked ALL my files for whitespace after the closing php tags, if any.
When I disable the hit counter, everything is fine. The Hit Counter's code is simply:

Hi. I'm not sure I grasp the whole taxonomy concept as Drupal implements it. For example, I'd like to have a top level Category, "Politics", that shows up in the navigation menu without any parents. But to actually add stuff to that category/vocabulary I would have to add a "General" sub category as a term. At least that's the way I've been doing it. Am I approaching it all wrong? How can you create top level categories to have content?

I'm experimenting with themes for a pretty vanilla site.

I had a menu bar working well in the header of the standard Chameleon theme (including secondary menus), I experiemented with the same thing in K2 but gave up.

When I got back to Chameleon, however, I could no longer place my Primary menu in the header. In Home>Administer>Blocks, the Placement pop-up menu has only two options (left and right sidebar) all the rest are missing for all the blocks. No other themes seem to be missing the Placement choices.

After searching the forums it seems that everyone wants to do something to the "Submitted by" area of their site. All I'm wanting to do is tell Drupal not to truncate the author's name. Currently it seems to cut off everything past 15 characters. I've searched through the theme and the core and can't seem to find where the truncating happens.

Can someone let me know what file I need to look in to find this?

Thanks,
