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

High CPU Usage

First off, you really need a support forum for "after installation support"......

To my question:

I got an email from my hosting provide complaining about high CPU usage by my site. Apparently the following was repeated frequently. Is this normal? Could this have caused high CPU usage?

New fancy theme for the Community

I am just developing a new theme for the Drupal Community. It's still in the process. All the themes look like the same routine. I want to made a bit colorful. So i added colros to the basic bluemarine theme.

Overview

1. Graphical Tabs
2. Each Tab has different coclor.
3. Different colors for blocks.
4. sIFR for Node titles

If anybody intrested you can see it here http://careers.gleez.com/

Please bear me if i am wrong and let me know i am not a coder. New ideas are welcome.

Form API

GRRRRRRR,

Ok, the new form API is cool and all, But im really having a pain displaying and editing this stuff.

Here it goes....
$form['easiness'] = array(
'#type' => 'radios',
'#title' => t('Easiness 1-5'),
'#options' => array('','','','',''),
'#required' => TRUE,
);

That outputs 5 radio buttons one on top of the other (vertically). I need them all to be horizontal. Then, the first radio button has a value of "0", the next "1", etc. I need the radio buttons to start from 1 and go to 5.

user data question

I'm wondering if anybody has a legend that explains how this data is entered into the database?

a:3:{s:5:"roles";a:1:{i:0;s:1:"2";}s:17:"mimemail_textonly";s:1:"0";s:7:"contact";s:1:"0";}

I'm trying to merge another contacts database into the drupal one, and this field called "DATA" in the users table, is pretty cryptic!

Thank you!

Menu taxonomy

can we 'create content' for a menu item?
http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal

I want to create content for menu item "Who We Are" under "First Time Visitors".
but, I don't see that menu item in the lists of where I can assign the content node.

from what I can tell, I have to create categories?

menus and menu items appear to be containers only.

thanks for any help in advance.

Newbie can't find node menu

So I just started evaluating Drupal for my company. I did a fresh install of 4.6 and started looking around. I really need a calendar, so I installed the Events module. Step 4 of the INSTALL.txt file tells me to go to "admin/node/configure/types", but I can't seem to find this menu.

Am I crazy? Is it supposed to be there? Do I need to enable it?

I DID search these forums for an answer before posting.

Any must-read resources for someone new to Drupal?

Thanks!
