Post installation

I'd like to add a "featured articles" and "news" section to the left column of my site where my client can add clips of articles and news with a title and blurb that will link to the full article. Not quite sure how to go about this (I'm fairly new to Drupal, new enough that I don't know) - can someone kindly point me to an article on drupal (or walk me through it if it's not too much trouble) thanks

I have just installed Drupal 4.7 and now I notice that the action feed module does not have a 4.7 version. This module is essential to the site that I am trying to build. I have installed the module and it does not work.

What should I do?

Hope that someone will update it, or set up a site on 4.6?

How do I edit the code that print $content; spits out? I want to wrap it in a paragraph tag

hi!
Thank you all for great drupal and plugins! I'm very new in content management and have installed drupal on my site only recently. I have a few Q...

1) first, I'd like to make sure what you call taxonomy is what others (like social bookmark sites, like del.icio.us) call "tags"? it looks to me the same, does it also function the same?

2) how can I add more sites to the automated pinging list drupal uses whenever there's new content?
and is there a way to ping the tags?

3) i've purchased a tag&ping tutorial which came with 2 plugins - but to wordpress. i'd like to stick to drupal. does anyone know an alternative or a drupal solution that's similar?

1. here's the first WP plugin:

   Plugin Name: WP-Sociable
   Plugin URI: http://www.maxpower.ca/sociable/2006/01/26/
   Version: 0.35 Beta
   Description: A simple plugin which lists a range of social bookmarking sites allowing visitors to quickly socially bookmark the post/page they are currently viewing. Usage instructions are available at maxpower.ca. Based on the work of Paul Stamatiou (visit his blog -- its good).
   Author: Kirk Montgomery
   
   

   example:

   // Check to see if user wants to fark [heh]
   if(strstr($wpsoc_sites_wanted,"fark")) { 
   // Fark This 
   echo "    ";
   echo "<a href=\"http://cgi.fark.com/cgi/fark/edit.pl?new_url=";
   echo $wpsoc_the_perm."&amp;new_comment=";
   echo $wpsoc_the_title_urlencode;
   echo "&amp;new_link_other=";
   echo $wpsoc_the_blogname;
   echo "&amp;linktype=".$wpsoc_the_fark_cat;
   echo "\" title=\"".$wpsoc_the_title_plain."\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" />";
   echo "<img src=\"";
   echo $wpsoc_the_imgurl."fark.png\" class=\"socialbkmark\" ";
   echo "alt=\"Fark ";
   echo $wpsoc_the_title_plain." at Fark.com\"/></a>";
   //Fark'd it good
   }

   this thing works with del.icio.us, Spurl, wists, simpy, newsvine, blinklists, furl, reddit, fark, blogmarks.

2. the second plugin:
   Plugin Name: My Tags
   Plugin URI: http://www.raoul.shacknet.nu/
   Description: Constructs URLS for your categories, which have the tag relation set and appends a tags section to your post's body in single post view and to the feed item's content.
   Version: 0.5

   Info:
   This plugin automatically creates "tag directory" tags from WPO categories, then sticks these specially formatted tags into each of your blog posts and the WP RSS feed.

   
   php code:
   
   

   function mt_add_my_tags($PostBody) {
   global $feed, $my_tags_url, $my_tags_style;

   if ( is_single() || ( is_feed() && !empty($feed)) ) {

   $MyCatTagStr = "

   Tags: ";
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
   if ( empty($my_tags_url) ) {
   $MyCatTagStr .= "\ncat_ID), 0, -1) . "\" rel=\"tag directory\">" . $cat->cat_name . ", ";
   } else {
   $MyCatTagStr .= "\ncat_name . "\" rel=\"tag directory\">" . $cat->cat_name . ", ";
   }
   }
   $MyCatTagStr = substr($MyCatTagStr, 0, -2) . "\n
