Post installation

how do i remove this link "email this page" from dashboard post? appreciated

Here's what I am attempting:

At the top of my homepage, there will be a set of links (the Primary Links). I would like each of these links to represent a different kind of user (i.e. poweruser, homeuser, mobile user, etc).

Whenever a visitor to my site clicks, lets say the PowerUser, link I want them to only see news items, and aggregated feeds that I specificy for that particular visitor type.

I've just downloaded Drupal and so far I've just started playing with it, however I can't seem to figure out how to make categories for my articles, such as:

-Home
-Review
---Sub Cat1
---Sub Cat2
-Tips
---Sub Cat1
---Sub Cat2

Also is there any kind of "drupal guide for dummies" that would help me out as well?

I've been running a couple of Drupal instances on campus, and had been letting users "administer nodes" so they could promote stuff to the front page. BUT this also means they can edit each other's posts. Wasn't a big deal, but now it's being used in some classes, where that could be a Very Bad Thing.

So, is it possible to allow users to promote their content to the front page WITHOUT handing them the keys to modify all content in the database?

Using the PHP version (I think that's what you call it?, yeah, I'm a noobie) of Bluemarine.

When I move some blocks to the right column, everything works OK, UNLESS there is some really wide content in a post (node?) such as a photo or a really long URL. In this case, the center column expands to accommodate the wide content, pushing the right column off the screen.

I just rebuilt our division's portal from an old and creaky drupal version to 4.6. One request was for a "message from the VP" style block on the front. Since the mission statement was already set up for this, I decided to just make a block in the mission statement like this:

<img align="right" width="75" src="/images/ourvp.png"><b>VP's Corner</b><br>Here's a message from the VP that welcomes everyone to the portal, and is regularly updated with short messages from the chief..<br><br clear="all">

This looks nice, with a small picture of the VP in the top right and a nice text flow. It looks good in my modified Marvin theme.

Next, I wanted to make the body text on the mission easily editable by the VP without having to go to "admin/settings". I made a node with the same text as the mission statement and got the following PHP snippet to output the text:

<?php
/*
dumps out just the node content on node 38
*/
$nid = '38';
$result = node_load(array(nid=>$nid));
$output .= $result->body;
?>

Now, to allow changes to that node to update the mission, I changed chameleon.theme like so:
Find the section:

<?php
$output .= "   <td id=\"main\">\n";
// insert mission statement, if one is set
// only parse if we're on the front page
if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage", "node") && ($mission = variable_get('site_mission', ''))) { */
  $output .= "\n<!-- begin mission -->\n"; 
  $output .= '<div id="mission">' . $mission . '</div>';
  $output .= "\n<!-- end mission -->\n"; 
}
?>

comment out that section and replace it with something like this:

<?php
/* replacement for mission output, allowing update from a node */
$output .= "
\n";
// insert mission statement, if one is set
// only parse if we're on the front page
if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage", "node") && ($mission = variable_get('site_mission', ''))) {
$output .= "\n

\n";
$output .= "
