Post installation

Hmm Well I was just recently given a Drupal Basic set up. I'm using it for a school project, which includes a paper on CMSs.

What I need to do is use one to control content on a previously set up page. It's all set, I just don't know how to apply the Drupal set up (right out of the box, aside from Admin account) to the webpage. I'd assume I have to insert/modify some HTML... But where can I find out how to do that?

Thank you.

P.S. Throw out whatever you want, I'm proficient with web page creating, it's jsut the cms that's new to me.

how?

I'd like to create a subdomain for every new blogger that registers on my site, similar to blogger.com. This doesnt have to be an automated process, I'd rather do this manually for each new blogger on the site.

example: www.mysite.com
blogger1.mysite.com
anotherblogger.mysite.com

Whenever a user logs into our site and wants to add a blog entry, it would place it within the proper subdomain. Is drupal able to do this in an efficient manageable way?

Thanks,

I am finally starting to get my head around how Drupal works and how best to configure my site. One thing that would help me a lot -- and presumably also help people at this same point on the learning curve -- is the ability to see the source for the pages on Drupal.org. Not the HTML source, but the code that was typed into the Drupal page editor. For instance, how was the Handbooks page made? Are those links generated automatically or are they handcoded?

I'm installing a new verision of CivicSpace. And when I get to the point of intalling the databases, I provide the user login and password, which are recognized, but not the name of my database.

The CS help function states this: "Make sure the name of the database you have is correct. This may be some kind of concatenation of the name of your general account with your virtual hosting service provider and the word database or whatever convention your hosting service may follow when assigning a database name to your database account."

In my admin log I see the robot.txt page not found. Do I create this page? What does this mean .
Thank you in advance.
