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

gallery module--totally confused

I have installed the latest gallery.module to work with the latest gallery release. Gallery works as expected in standalone but when I access it from within the drupal site using the gallery module, I get what seems to be weird permissions behavior. No matter what I set the permissions as for my main gallery album (and all subgalleries) the pictures aren't visible unless you're logged in. I've tried giving the group "everybody" all access to everything and it works outside of drupal, but not through drupal.

I want to try serving gzipped output !! (drupal 4.7.0)

Is there a way ?

1) setting/module in drupal to help serve page requests as gzip
2) apache must be configured to do it automatically (how do I check if it actually does ?)
3) can configure/instruct your server to do it through php.ini or htaccess (how do I do it ?)

I have seen some discussion on this but its mostly quite old.

Is there a possibility to have cached pages gzipped in a future release ?

How to create pages with topical sections with drupal 4.70 ?

Sorry for my newbie question but here goes:

How do create "links" in drupal to non static pages that are topical ?

Im trying to use epublish and drupal to have "sections" of a news site.

Unlike straight html where I can have a placeholder, how do I have pages of related nodes (subjects?)
that work ?

I understand the idea of linking to one article but how to create topical sections ?

thanks

Forms in 4.7...

Previously I could use the forms and survey module in order to collect information from site visitors. Neither of these modules work in 4.7.

How do we go about doing this in 4.7? Until recently, all my sites have been in CivicSpace, so I haven't kept up as much with the changes in Drupal 4.7. I tried a search, but after going through several pages of search results, I was no closer to an answer than when I started.

Thanks in advance.

Adding a search box

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to activate or install a search box?

I can see an option in themes/configure but the search box option will not accept a check in the checkbox. Tried switching themes, all the same.

Thanks.

Hiding Menu Titles

I've looked all over and can't find a solution to this. I understand you don't have to have titles for blocks in 4.7, but why do I have to have menu titles? I can't seem to find a way to hide them.

As an example, I don't want a title above my Primary Links to be shown. Likewise, the title of the user or "Navigation" for non-logged in users is useless. At the same time I don't want to remove all titles (by editing out the link in the block.tpl.php file) since I have some blocks that need titles.
