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

Dealing with requests for old pages after converting to Drupal

In an effort to remove requests for requests for pages on my old site (non-Drupal) that no longer exist, I tried to set up aliases of aliases and found that didn't work. Also, I couldn't make aliases of the old pages such as:

faq/index.php -> support

In the end, I ended up recreating the common pages that appear in the log with 404 errors which redirect to the alias. For example for faq/index.php, I simply have this code in the file:

Hiperlink http://

How the link as http://site.com make to be active link, hiperlink? Which filters, input formats or module use to make it?

Acidfree navigation errors...

Just starting out with Acidfree on my new 4.7 (rc2) Drupal site.

I created an album and added some images with no real problems.

However, the navigation through the album is all wrong - at the top of the album there is a nice looking collection of tabs, labelled 1, 2, 3 etc. Trouble is, they all link to the SAME node which is just one of the pictures.. if I click on the thumbnail then I get to the correct picture, and how there are "Previous, First, Next and Last" tabs.. they also all link to the same picture.

Page options: Menu Settings etc.

I just set up a new drupal (version 4.6.6) install but I can't find some features that I found in the demo site. In the demo site, when I create a new page, I can see a block at the bottom of the page that allows me to edit the menu settings, comment settings, etc. But, I can't find these options in my install. Does anyone know how to enable them?
thanks

Display current nodes on home page sectioned by category?

Is it possible to display current node content broken up into sections on the same page based on vocabulary? For example, let's say I have three main categories (vocabularies), Autos, Boats, Planes. And let's say I create 3 tables respectively (or CSS, nothing but a horizontal line, whichever). I'll use tables as the example. So I have a table titled Autos and a table titled Boats and a table titled Planes. They all are to reside on the same page or Home page.

Is it possible to then direct xx number of current node content into each table respectively? That is to say, the visitor lands on the page and they see the first table, say, Autos, with xx number of current Story postings displayed same as they would see now with all Categories mixed together.

They then scroll down to the next section (table) which is only Boats. It displays xx number of new node postings. And they can then scroll down to the last of the three sections (tables), Planes and they see displayed xx number of only the Planes story postings.

I was curious if that's possible or if instead the only way to display xx number of current content postings was to display them all together rather than seperating by Category (Vocabulary).

And *if* that is possible, could it be done such that instead of vocabularly, it was done by term. For instance, one table could contain xx recent postings regarding Corvette, while another table could contain xx recent postings regarding Ferrari, and so forth.

User content contribution links

Hi, I couldn't figure out how to place "submit news story" and "add a tip" sort of links that allow easy contribution of content, ideal would be that the links point directly to a textarea that is set-up to post in the category that the user was browsing when he clicked.
How do I set this up? I would also like to make these links visible to guests, and redirect them to the signup form.
