Post installation

Simple question: is there a way to split up posts/stories/etc into 2 or 3 pages? Much like large sites such as mns.com or cnet.com do with their articles? I want the user to hit "next" to go to a 2nd or 3rd page of the article.

Any module like this exist for Drupal?

Installed Drupal 4.7 on a Mac OS X Server.

Manually ran cron.php (several times). Do not have a cron job running automatically (couldn't figure out how on Mac OS X).

Drupal administer > settings > search says 100% indexed.

Search is enabled for anonymous users.

Can Drupal's search find stuff on the 'contact form'?

For example, we have a Contact page with our company name and address above the 'email us' form. Searching for "pine" (as in Pine Street) does not find the page.

I hate to open a can of worms here, but I have a fairly complex question. I have an existing application that I want to tie in with Drupal. I want to integrate it in to extend the functionality of a drupal site for a client. I am familiar with the xxx_hookname module system. The approach I am taking models the approach gallery2 used. Keep your app encapsulated in a separate dir and provide drupal with a .module file to synch drupal users and g2 user and display an embedded version of gallery2. I think that using that as an example is being overly complicated for my needs at this point.

I believe the ***_menu hook is what tells drupal where to link to in order to display a page using the path array element returned. Can someone help me understand how you embed an existing page into drupal? I am still not clear on how the whole system works. I don't think it would be as easy as wrapping my app's pages inside a $content variable. I understand that drupal renders main content within the content css div tags but just wrapping my existing html in the content div does not account for the rest of the drupal page.

My app has its own permission system that I will have to synch up with the drupal system at some point but for now I would just like to have it be displayed within the drupal content area as any drupal content node would. I think I can work from there.
Can someone give me some pointers in the right direction?

Does anybody know of a module that will filter stories by region? Say by state?

The question says it all. I'm working on a site where we want to use images for the menu options rather than text. I can't find any way to do this exact to hard code the menus into my template which I'd rather avoid. I tried making and img tag the title for a menu item, but (as expected) it escapes it to proper html.

Is there any way to create menus in drupal and use an image for the menu rather than just text? I'm using 4.7 if that matters.

Hello.

I have Drupal up and running on my site ebait.org.
Now, when I logout, I cannot login anymore, on any browser (OS=WinVista Beta2).
Any solutions for this? (P.S. I can send me the pw email, and login once... but logged out the problem continues.)
